node express server request.on('end') only firing for get

I am trying to create a middleware function that fires when the request has ended.

middleware

module.exports = function(req, res, next) {
    req.on("end", function() {
        console.log('End');
    });
    next();
};

I include my middleware like this.

app.all('/*', [require('./middlewares/activityLogger.js')]);

at the moment i see "END in console for GET request but not for POST, PUT and DELETE"

example of how i end request GET (WORKS)

res.status(200).json(result)

POST (Don't work)

res.status(201).json(result.create)

any suggesting to why my middleware function is only fired on GET requests?

Solved it by listening to the "finish" event instead of "end"

module.exports = function(req, res, next) {
    res.on('finish', function() {
        console.log('finish');
    });
    next();
};
