How to force HTTPS or HTTP

Use this when using a reverse proxy and you do not have a full SSL configured, or when you simply want to force HTTPS or HTTP

HTTPS/SSL is fully supported by the application and will be used automatically based on the protocol used on a user request; this means that URLs and assets will use HTTPS when a request is being made using HTTPS.

The application may use the HTTP protocol on a request made with HTTPS; a common reason for this is having a reverse proxy without end-to-end SSL. For example, using Cloudflare without Full or Strict SSL.

To force HTTPS, add the following line to the .env file:

APP_FORCE_SCHEME=https

To force HTTP:

APP_FORCE_SCHEME=http
