How to access session in express, outside of the req?

Question

I know that I can use

function(req, res) {
    req.session
}

using express. However I need to access the session outside of the response func

Assuming your socket.io code looks kinda like this:

io.on('connection',
function(client) {
  console.log(client.request)
});

The request is client.request as shown in the example above.

Edit: As a separate thing, maybe this would help: https://github.com/aviddiviner/Socket.IO-sessions
