Laravel Redirect All Requests To HTTPS

Question

Our entire site is to be served over https. I have 'https' in each route. However, how do I redirect them to https if they attempt it over http?

Route::group(array('https'), function()
{
     // all of our routes
}

Answer 1

Using .htaccess Apache for laravel 4.2.X

Original File

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Edit File /public/.htaccess

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off 
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] 


    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Answer 2

If behind a proxy and Request::secure() is not working.

App::before( function( $request )
{
  // set the current IP (REMOTE_ADDR) as a trusted proxy
  Request::setTrustedProxies( [ $request->getClientIp() ] );
});

Combining previous answers and updating for Laravel 4.2:

Route::filter('secure', function () {
    if (! Request::secure()) {
        return Redirect::secure(
            Request::path(),
            in_array(Request::getMethod(), ['POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE']) ? 307 : 302
        );
    }
});
Route::when('*', 'secure');
