Node.js / Express on response event

I'm trying to create a middleware that logs response times and status codes and sends it to a database. However, I'm not sure what event to use. In node's documentation there's a close event but it is never fired. end doesn't work either. However, header does, but I can't find any documentation.

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.on('close', function() {
    console.log('close')
  })

  res.on('end', function() {
    console.log('end')
  })

  res.on('header', function() {
    console.log('header')
    console.log(res.statusCode)
  })

  next()
})

Only header fires, and it does return the correct res.statusCode.

My questions:

1. Why isn't close firing? Why is header firing?
2. Is this a reliable way to go?
