app.js

var connect = require( "connect" ),
    flatiron = require( "flatiron" ), 
    app = flatiron.app;
    
app.use( flatiron.plugins.http, {
  buffer: false,
  before: [
    connect.bodyParser(),
    function( req, res ) {
      // This works fine here
      console.log( req.body );
      res.emit( 'next' );
    }
  ]
})

app.router.get( '/someroute', function() {
  console.log( this.req.body ); // Empty object
});
