Replace 'next' with middlewares, and push your anonymous function into the middleware array before returning it:

middleware: function(connect, options, middlewares) {

        res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
        res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,OPTIONS');
        next();
    });

    return middlewares;
}
