Hi ajlopez, thanks for your response and attention to my problem.

The piece of code (i.e., write header) is in the router.js file.  I am 
sorry for not providing enough information about the environment in which I 
am working.  I am working under a rather big project.  According to the 
package.json file of the project, I see that under "dependencies":

"express" : ">=3.4.0" 

It was about one and half months ago when I did    npm install   of the 
project.  The Express 4 was not available at the time.
