How to implement HTTPS in laravel 5.4

Question

I have a shared hosting with OVH(France) and i have the \"Let\'s Encrypt\" certificate for my domain.

however, i looked everywhere for redirecting all requests from HTTP

Answer 1

in addition to @Troyer answer, i added the code below to my .htacces

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]

and now all request to HTTP are redirected to HTTPS without the "TOO_MANY_REDIRECT" errors thank you very much guys for your answers best regards,

Answer 2

You can set 'url' => env('APP_URL', 'https://localhost'), in config/app.php. That should do the trick.

Answer 3

Without modify the .htaccess file, you can force the https protocol in your Laravel application adding:

function boot() {
     URL::forceScheme('https');
     ... your code
}

In your AppServiceProvider.php.

Answer 4

If you'd like to force HTTPS over all URLs of your app without having to change your Apache or Nginx configuration, you need to update your AppServiceProvider as followed:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        if (env('APP_ENV') === 'production') {
            $this->app['url']->forceScheme('https');
        }
    }
}

PS: you can remove the condition if you have SSL enabled on your local development environment.
