title: How to disable Express BodyParser for file uploads (Node.js)
body: <p>This seems like it should be a fairly simple question, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to approach it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Node.js + Express to build a web application, and I find the connect BodyParser that express exposes to be very useful in most cases. However, I would like to have more granular access to multipart form-data POSTS as they come - I need to pipe the input stream to another server, and want to avoid downloading the whole file first.</p>
  
  <p>Because I'm using the Express BodyParser, however, all file uploads are parsed automatically and uploaded and available using "request.files" before they ever get to any of my functions.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to disable the BodyParser for multipart formdata posts without disabling it for everything else?</p>
