Question about passing the user to HTTP GET *

[jedmundo]

When you do this:

app.get('/*', function(req, res) { var role = userRoles.public, username = ''; if(req.user) { role = req.user.role; username = req.user.username; } res.cookie('user', JSON.stringify({ 'username': username, 'role': role })); res.sendfile('./public/index.html'); });

How do you get the user to get passed to req.user from the client side?? I just cant find how you do it :\

I noticed this come from http session variables!
