How react-router on client side can send request to middleware

It doesn't send requests to server.

React router is responsible (From docs):

React Router keeps your UI in sync with the URL

Please check this https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/latest/docs/Introduction.md and first section Without React Router . It shows what react-router replace.

react-router changes browser url. But this doesn't make calls to server. For communicate with server you can use jquery ( http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/ ) or superagent ( https://github.com/visionmedia/superagent ).
