Answer 1

I'm using Laravel 6.X and was having a similar issue. The go around according to your issue is as follows: 1)In your routes/web.php do something like

/**sample route**/
Route::get('/download/{path}/', 'MyController@get_file');

2)Then in your controller (MyController.php) for our case it should look like this:

download($path);
    }
}
