This package is useful for correlating your log messages across multiple requests

(if you emit multiple log entries for each request). Also sets `X-Request-Id` header

automatically in response (credit: @Inf0rmer)

### HOWTO

Adds this to your `.use` configuration block.

    app.use(require('connect-requestid'))

And that's it! :-)

Access the request id object with `request.id` like this:

    app.get('/', function(req, resp) {

      resp.send('hello request #' + req.id);

    });

### GENERATOR

The id is generated from the `require('connect-requestid').generator` function. This

function will by default uses the [node-uuid][0] module to generates 16 bytes of a unique

identifier each time it is called.

You can replace this function with your own custom implementation with the signature

`generator(callback)` and calls the callback function with the standard `callback(e,

string)` to return the generated id.
