route() and https

[modenaa]

Hi

I am trying to force the route() to output https rather the default http it produces. I have also tried URL::secure(route(cpanel etc)) with no luck. Any suggestions would be be appreciated.

Thanks

If you use:

route(‘cpanel.login’);

You'll get a url to the cpanel login url. From what I understand route() will return https:// if you're already navigating the website with https:// prepended to the URL. So one option is to force SSL at the application level with a route filter: http://www.laravel-tricks.com/tricks/redirect-all-traffic-to-https-force-ssl. You could also do this at the web server level with using rewriting.
