The problem I see is that you car calling next() before you finish reading
the file.

But, I dont understand why you want to let know to the next middleware that
this one has fail?

I havent seen that a lot.. For instance lot of authentication code do
something along these lines:

function addUserToRequest(req, res, next) {
  getUser(req.session.userId, function foo(err, user) {
    if(err) {
       return res.send(401); ///respond with unauthorized  and do not
call the next middleware.
    }
    req.user = user; //put the user in the request object so the next
middleware can use it
    next(); //call the next middleware.
  });
}
