I am trying to use gulp-connect to forward all requests to api/ to localhost:3000. I found an example at https://github.com/AveVlad/gulp-connect/issues/27

and setup my connect task like this:

gulp.task('connect', function(){

    connect.server({

        root: './app', 

    middleware: function(connect, o) {

      return [ (function() {

        var url = require('url');

        var proxy = require('proxy-middleware');

        var options = url.parse('http://localhost:3000/api');

        options.route = 'api';

        return proxy(options);

      })()]

    }

    });

});

Running this task warns that connect deprecated connect(middleware): use app.use(middleware) instead node_modules/gulp-connect/index.js:39:19 and this task does not forward requests as expected.

I looked at the connect source to see if I could work around the depreciation, but it is beyond my level in js:

 ConnectApp.prototype.server = function() {

    var app, middleware;

    middleware = this.middleware();

    app = connect.apply(null, middleware);

    server = http.createServer(app);

    app.use(connect.directory(typeof opt.root === object ? opt.root[0] : opt.root));

    server.listen(opt.port);

    this.log(Server started http:// + opt.host + : + opt.port);

    if (opt.livereload) {

      tiny_lr.Server.prototype.error = function() {};

      lr = tiny_lr();

      lr.listen(opt.livereload.port);

      return this.log(LiveReload started on port  + opt.livereload.port);

    }

  };

I cannot figure out how to change my gulp-file to use app.use(middleware), the app variable is not exported by the connect module.
