express.bodyParser not parsing?

I've stripped everything down to the absolute bare bones to try and fine out whats wrong, and still can't get bodyParser to do anything. It won't even work for .txt files.

server.js

var     cfg     = require(__dirname + '/config'),
    express     = require('express');


var app = express();

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.use(express.logger(cfg.LOGGER));
app.use(require('connect').bodyParser());
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.use(express.favicon(__dirname + '/public/favicon.ico'));

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.render('index');
    res.end();
});

app.post('/upload', function(req,res) {
    console.log(req.body.file);
    res.end();
});

app.listen(2017);

index.ejs

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/upload" method="POST">
    <input id="multipart/form-data" type="file" name="foo" />
    <button>Upload</button>
</form>

the result is that req.body.file is undefined

Change this 

  app.use(require('connect').bodyParser());
            as
  app.use(express.bodyParser());  


  app.post('/upload', function(req,res) {
     console.log(req.body.foo);//in req.body u have to mention the name of the file..
     res.end();
  });

You can access the file using req.files.<yourFileInputFieldName>:

console.log(req.files.foo);

More info in this section of the docs.
