Sessions won't work unless you have these 3 in this order:

app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({secret: '1234567890QWERTY'}));
app.use(app.router);

Answer 1

You need to set it first... I did not see this in your code, something like:

req.session.param = "Hello World";

Unless param refers to the property that comes with the request object that only url variables.

Answer 2

You can't set req.session.params, since its req.session which is none. What about cookieSession. That should give you req.session http://expressjs.com/3x/api.html#cookieSession

Answer 3
