A Modification to the Node.js Passport module that looks for flatiron/union and binds the request functions onto the appropriate object.

request.js

/**
 * Module dependencies.
 */
 
// If flatiron/union is being used, then bind the following
// functions to the RoutingStream Prototype
try {
    var union = require('union')
    , req = union.RoutingStream.prototype;
}
// Otherwise, bind to the native http.req prototype
catch (ex) {
    var http = require('http')
    , req = http.IncomingMessage.prototype;
}
