The current implementation overwrites req.url since it is used in the log message templates.
This leads to errors and issues like #156. In our case, it makes the Express app even crash.
This PR removes the overwrite of req.url and switches to req.originalUrl for the log messages.
It resolves #156.
A little bit more context:
The Express docs explain that req.url should only be changed for explicit desired internal routing purposes.
req.originalUrl
This property is much like req.url; however, it retains the original request URL, allowing you to rewrite req.url freely for internal routing purposes. For example, the “mounting” feature of app.use() will rewrite req.url to strip the mount point.
