Laravel - In some special cases but especially when you are using Cloudflare Flexible SSL. We need a solution so that all URL on our website (created by url, route function) must be https even though our server currently doesn't support ssl.
Solution:
Edit App\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php in the boot() method
public function boot()
{
// custom for cloudflase flexible ssl
if($this->checkHTTPSStatus()){
URL::forceScheme('https');
}
/*...some other code...*/
}
private function checkHTTPSStatus()
{
/*Select code in an option below*/
}
Option 1: Switch to https according to the configuration in the env file
private function checkHTTPSStatus()
{
return env('APP_HTTPS',false) === true;
}
In .env file you must to declare APP_HTTPS parameter
APP_HTTPS=true
Option 2: Automatically switch to https if the user comes from Cloudflare Flexible SSL
private function checkHTTPSStatus()
{
return (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'])&&$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']==='https');
}
Option 3: Full SSL
private function checkHTTPSStatus()
{
return !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']);
}
Solved !
