Hacking express middleware to automatically capture request timeouts

This technical article explains a pattern for automatically enforcing request timeouts in an Express.js application. It addresses the limitation of the connect-timeout middleware, which requires manual timeout checks after each middleware. The solution involves creating a Proxy to wrap the app.use() function, automatically injecting timeout validation logic into every middleware function added to the chain.
