Why does my request object have no method `param`?

I'm currently writing a web-app in Express, and I was hoping to make use of request.param to extract parameters that may arrive either in the URL string (for GET) or in the request body (for POST).

I've passed the request object to a function which, among other things, performs a req.param('email'); However, this snippet throws the following error:

TypeError: Object #<ServerResponse> has no method 'param'
    at read_url_params (/home/louist/Documents/node/socialube/modules/user_verif.js:50:63)

    at completeOne (/home/louist/Documents/node/socialube/node_modules/mongoose/lib/query.js:1392:10)

I've tried including the bodyParser middleware, but to no avail.

How can I fix this?

param is a method on req, not res.
