Unauthorized when api.xxx before Auth

[jandante]

Hi,

my setup works thanks to your clean package + readme (thank you for that).

I do have an issue though. When i set my routes i put everything in a route group so I can add the before filter auth. I'm using the basic authentication included in Laravel.

However when I do this it works when calling the page but after some filtering or paginating i suddenly get the datatables ajax error. The console shows me a 401 Unauthorized. I get automatically logged out.
If I keep my main route in the auth group and extract the api route from it, I don't have that error.

Of course that wouldn't be save because my data is then free for everyone.

Is Laravel protecting me here from a lot of ajax calls and automatically logges me out?

Thanks for you help!

Hi,

I've changed the code in the Controller.

Instead of applying a filter in the routes file I now check in the controller before returning the data if ther is a user logged in. If so I return the data if not i go to the login page.

Closed :)

Glad you figured it out on your own.
I would not have a solid solution for that.

Actually that did not solve the issue. I keep getting logged out when performing a lot of GET request (for example when searching in DataTable).

But this doesn't really concern Chumper so I don't think it should be re-opened. I will look this further up.

Let me know when you have a solution.

I've had this problem. I was using PHP's built in web server via "artisan serve". I switched to Apache and the problem is solved. I guess the reason is multi-threading that built-in server doesn't support.

@mgsmus nice one :). That solved it for me. Thanks a lot!
