When will NowJS be able to read the response and request objects? #148

It's really painful not to be able to access the user's session.

Probably this link can help you to build a workaround and to probably propose an implementation for a simpler API to now.js. Remember to look also Update 2 and Update 3 where Justin Slattery implements the authenticated sockets.

You can access the session data by finding the connection sessionId:

var id = unescape(this.user.cookie['connect.sid']));

With which you can access the session date if you are using sessions in express.

Because of the different paradigm of request / response as opposed to realtime data communication, it's not possible to access the request/response object (as there is no concept of request or response). Use the technique above you can access the session data store.
