request: ability to configure the authentication failure handlers about node_acl HOT 3 CLOSED

nice to hear you liked it. It still lacks quite a lot of functionality but I will be keep adding it since I need a complete ACL system in my solution.

Regarding the error handler. I tried to follow the express convention for handling errors, cant you achieve what you want by implementing the redirection in the app.error route?
If that doesn't work, do you have any other solution in mind?

I'll have to look into app.error, as i'm not aware of what it does/how it works.
i'm trying to get node_acl working alongside railwayjs / express-on-railway, so i'm not sure if i've got access to app.error.

One option i thought about was passing a hash of options to the constructor which'd specify callbacks to be run in the event of auth failure. i.e. redirect to a /login url.

My app.error looks like this (which is enough for a simple REST api)

app.error(function(err, req, res, next){
  if(!err.errorCode){
    err.errorCode = 500
  }

  var msg = err.msg
  if(!msg){
    msg = err
  }

  res.statusCode = err.errorCode

  res.send(msg)
});
