https not http for the dripper

[allotmentandy]

hi,

i want to know how to force the caffeine dripper to use a https url instead of a http? is there a way to add a setting FORCE_HTTPS?

kind regards

The drip url is generated using the url() helper, which gets the base url from Laravel. This means it will use the same schema as your Laravel app is configured to use.

Do you have a use-case where you wouldn't want it to behave this way? (If your Laravel app is on HTTPS, but drip is not pointing to HTTPS, my guess is there is probably a configuration issue in your Laravel app.) Please let me know. :)

Thanks!

hi, thanks for the reply.

i have the laravel app running behind a load balancer. so the internal laravel system is http but the client facing part is https.

i have changed the line in the middleware to just call
$dripUrl = '/genealabs/laravel-caffeine/drip';

as the url part is broken, when i use the load balancer.

but it is going to break when there is an update!

Excellent use case, I forgot to consider that! Thanks for bringing this up, I will add that as a configuration option.

[allotmentandy]

could you just have a full url in the config file?

[mikebronner]

Will definitely consider it. It will probably be two config values, one for the base URL (schema and domain) and another for the actual route on the app.

yes, perhaps you can have url() as the default for the first one, so i can overright it.

thanks for a great package and great service.
