How to extract request http headers from a request using NodeJS connect

Question

I'd like to get the "Host" header of a request made using Node JS's connect library bundle. My code looks like:

var app = connect()   .use(connect.logger('dev'))   .use(connect.static('public'))   .use(function(req, res){      var host = req.???    })  .listen(3000); 

The documentation for connect is here but I don't see anything detailing the API of the req object in the above code. http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/

Edit: Note a successful answer must point to the documentation (I need this to verify which version provided the API I'm looking for).

If you use Express 4.x, you can use the req.get(headerName) method as described in Express 4.x API Reference
