title: Express Node.js project missing parameter in route
body: <p>I have a simple route defined such as</p>
  
  <pre><code>gApp.use('/alert/:product', routeAlertProduct); // example: http://localhost/alert/test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when handling the route. The request.params field is empty. When I expect it should have been filled in with a key representing the product (which should be set to test in the above example).</p>

  <p>Any thoughts on why request.params doesn't contain a product key in this example?</p>
