Issues with Laravel 5.2 - Session

[bugwelle]

Laravel 5.2 removes important global middleware and introduces middleware groups.

This is great but also brought a "bug" to my app. All captchas were invalid since \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class wasn't used for the captcha image url.

Workarounds:

Add \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class to $middleware in Kernel.php

or

Change line 26 in CaptchaServiceProvider to:

$this->app['router']->get('captcha/{config?}', '\Mews\Captcha\CaptchaController@getCaptcha')->middleware('web');

My question:

Is there any other way to fix this "issue" (if it is one).

Hi,
The first method is most appropriate. I'm using in this way.
Thanks.

Since Laravel encourage developers to write their routes in the web middleware (The Default Routes File), set another StartSession in default middleware will clear all session values that has been set by other classes.

In the same situation, second approach solved my problem.

PS: I have removed \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class from web middleware and added it to the default middleware array, it works fine but still I believe second approach is better.

Please note to README.md that if using web middleware on route.php must NOT ADD \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class to protected $middleware
(for Laravel 5.2+)

Thank you,
