Custom URL in Node Express

Question

I need to save the full path as a string for further processing, i.e.

localhost:3000/abc/xyz/etc

would give me:

"/abc/xyz/etc"

I tried

app.get('/.+:path', function(req, res) {
   console.log('path:'+req.params[0]);
});

But it does not work. Any ideas?

app.get('/:path*', function(req, res) {
   console.log(req.params.path + req.params[0]);
});

hint: req.url is the actual path

It's unclear what's the route and what's the params but this is a good starting point:

app.get('/abc/:path', function(req, res) {
   console.log('path:'+req.params.path);
});

If you call localhost:3000/abc/xyz You will get path:xyz
