Express.js not responding when using session

express, node.js, redis, session

Solution

Remove the `res.end()` and it stops the hanging and renders the page.

var express = require('express'),
    app = express.createServer();

app.configure (function(){
    app.use (express.logger({ format: ":method :url" }));
    app.use (express.bodyParser());
    app.use (express.cookieParser());
});

app.configure ('development', function () {
    console.log ("Development mode.");
});
app.configure ('production', function () {
    console.log ("Production mode.");
});

app.get ('/', function (req, res) {
    res.contentType("text/html");
    res.send("hello");
})

console.log ("Listening to *:"+8006);
app.listen (8006);

Problem

Here is my app: ``` var express = require('express'), app = express.createServer(), RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express); app.configure (function(){ app.use (express.logger({ format: ":method :url" })); app.use (express.bodyParser()); app.use (express.cookieParser()); app.use (express.session({ store: new RedisStore, secret: "totally random string" })); }); app.configure ('development', function () { console.log ("Development mode."); }); app.configure ('production', function () { console.log ("Production mode."); }); app.get ('/', function (req, res) { res.contentType("text/html"); res.send("hello", 200); res.end(); }) console.log ("Listening to *:"+8006); app.listen (8006); ``` It hangs in the browser when I use localhost:8006/ Any idea whats wrong? I am probably missing 1 little detail. It works when the `app.use (express.session...` line is commented out Thanks
