Crypto Hashes are coming different

Always getting a different value than expected, even though the program is as expected..

const express = require('express');
// const crypto = require('crypto');

var app = express();

app.put("/message/:id", function(req, res) {
  var crypted = require('crypto').createHash('sha1')
                      .update(new Date().toDateString() + req.param.id)
                      .digest('hex');

  res.send(crypted);
})

app.listen(process.argv[2]);

Yup, I'm having the same problem too

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var port = process.argv[2];

app.put('/message/:id', function(req,res) {
    res.send(require('crypto')
      .createHash('sha1')
      .update(new Date().toDateString() + req.param.id)
      .digest('hex'));
})

app.listen(port);

parameters from within the request handlers, use:

    req.params.NAME

It's req.# params, not req.# param

var express = require('express');

app.put('/message/:id', function(req, res){
    var id = req.params.id;
    var str = require('crypto')
     .createHash('sha1')
     .update(new Date().toString() + id)
     .digest('hex');
    res.send(str);
});

app.listen(process.argv[2]);

@smachen This solution doesn't work as well.

I found my mistake. It should be new Date().toDateString() and not new Date().toString().
