Force Laravel to use HTTPS version

Question

I have a laravel site and I'm trying to get everything to work on with SSL. Though it seems that Laravel wants to use http instead. For example I was using the form element and the method was automatically sending to http. The same thing using the built in style, script links which I changed all to work statically (regular ol' HTML). The last thing which I can't manage to figure out is the pagination (using jscroll). I have this row:

{!! $plugins->appends(['tag' => $param2, 'search' => $param1 ])->render() !!}

Which prints this:

    <ul class="pager">
<li class="disabled"><span>«</span></li> 
<li class="jscroll-next-parent" style="display: none;"><a href="http://siteurl.net/pagename/page/?tag=XXX&amp;search=&amp;page=2" rel="next">»</a>
</li>
</ul>

Any idea how I change that to be https? Thanks!

You may consider redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS via htaccess (if you're using apache) as well. — maio290, May 02 '18 at 12:22
That won't help since the URL that prints on the screen is http, I need to change what gets printed — Avi, May 02 '18 at 12:33
I actually didn't have APP_URL but I added it and it didn't change anything — Avi, May 02 '18 at 12:42

Try this, go to AppServiceProvider place this code in the boot method:

\URL::forceScheme('https');

The class:

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        URL::forceScheme('https');
    }
}

Other way is enforce by .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Remember about clearing cache in browser (then htaccess will work correctly).

Good luck!

Thanks, though I get an error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator::forceScheme() Any way how to fix this? – Avi May 02 '18 at 12:31
Try import: use Illuminate\Routing\Route; – Adam Kozlowski May 02 '18 at 12:33
laravel version? – Adam Kozlowski May 02 '18 at 12:42
I got it! use: Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route (i just edited answer) – Adam Kozlowski May 02 '18 at 12:43
version: 5.0.31. I got so excited I thought it was going to work. But no. Got the same error – Avi May 02 '18 at 12:49
Unfortunately htaccess isn't good enough since I'm using ajax here and it's mixed content and gets blocked. I did find however that previous versions are called forceSchema with an A at the end. This isn't producing an error but it doesn't seem to work either – Avi May 02 '18 at 13:25
Why would .htaccess not work for ajax requests? Are you requesting https:// in your ajax? – Devon Bessemer May 02 '18 at 14:43

If you want to generate https routes only (but still plain http requests allowed), change AppServiceProvider:

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        URL::forceScheme('https');
    }
}

if you want to redirect any http request to https, add a global middleware:

class ForceHttpsMiddleware{
    public function handle($request, Closure $next){

        if (!$request->secure() && App::environment() === 'production') {//optionally disable for localhost development
            return redirect()->secure($request->getRequestUri());
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

I got everything to work by enforcing SSL on Couldflare. It's not in the code but it works.

forceScheme is wrong it should be forceSchema, you should find AppServiceProvider and under the boot function add:

\URL::forceScheme('https');

It means it will be

public function boot()
{
    \URL::forceSchema('https');
}

open app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php

add below class

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL;

then just write below source in Boot() function of AppServiceProvider.php

<?php

if($this->app->environment('production')) { // it will force redirect to https in Production mode 
      URL::forceScheme('https');
}

?>

it will force redirect http request to https

& then update APP_URL variable with https url in .env file

for ex:-

APP_URL=https://stackoverflow.com

If you use this way then you does not required to any change in server file or .htaccess file

Note:- I use Laravel 8 So, I am not sure it will works in below Version of Laravel 8
