Usage

var connect = require('connect'),

    ask = require('asker'),
    app = connect();

app.use(requestId.createMiddleware());  // set up the middleware
···
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
    ask({
        host : 'example.com',
        headers : {
            'x-request-id' : requestId.get();    // get this request's Id and pass it to the api request
        }
    },
    next);
});
