Redirect and curl problem
Hey,
I have build a url shortener with laravel 5. I use the redirect() helper function to redirect to the destination page. Now here is my problem:
Twitter and Google+ can't fetch the real site behind the shortlink. When I curl (linux command) a goo.gl shortlink I get a 301 redirect. When I curl my shortlinks I get a 500 internal server error but it works in the browser.
I have set the route methods to any() but it also fails.

Route::any('/{hash}', 'RedirectController@hash');
and
public function hash($hash){
if(!$shortlink = Shortlink::getActiveByHash($hash)){
return redirect('/');
}
$this->logger->logShort($shortlink);
return redirect($shortlink->url);
}

try redirect($url, 301) or redirect()->to($url, 301);
By default it is 302 redirects.

Now it works fine. I had 2 problems. The main problem was my ViewLogger. It logs some $_SERVER variables but I didn't check if the array keys exists and one array key don't exists on a curl so it fails.
And the second problem (301) was solved by your answer.

So just check if the variable exists ^^
