express.js res.redirect with masking

In express.js, can I use res.redirect while performing masking.

Example, my app is at http://example.com. I want http://example.com/test to redirect to http://google.com while keeping the URL as http://example.com/test.

In other words, the user sees google's landing-page while URL == http://example.com/test.

What you can do then is to get the Google's HTML code and send it in your response like this :

var request = require('request'); // https://github.com/mikeal/request

function (html) {
  return request.get('http://www.google.com', (error, response, body) => {
    if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
      return body;
    }
  });
  res.set('Content-Type', 'text/html');
  res.send(html);
};

Since this is a automated translation from CoffeeScript, things might need to be polished, but the idea is there.
