Force Laravel to use HTTPS version

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

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

Good luck!

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.
