How to apply HTTPS to the helpers asset and url

I'm pretty sure that the path is generated with the help of your URL-setting. Try checking your .env file. Maybe you have defined your URL as something like URL=http://yoursite.com? In that case, you can just change http to https :-)

@sorcjc You could just create a new helper in your own helpers.php file.

if (!function_exists('my_asset')) {
    function my_asset($path)
    {
        return asset($path, env('REDIRECT_HTTPS'));
    }
}

Of course you probably want to use a better name then my_asset.

Thank you both for your help.

@tyfc I have changed the APP_URL in my .env, but I am still getting the warnings:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://mysite.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script 'http://mysite.com/assets/js/main.js'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

@craigpaul In this case I want to override the helpers, since I have used the helpers in a lot of pages. Should I use the next?

function asset($path)
{
  return asset($path, env('REDIRECT_HTTPS'));
}

I finally found a solution:

<?php
namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot(UrlGenerator $url)
{
  if(env('REDIRECT_HTTPS'))
  {
    $url->forceSchema('https');
  }
}

Thanks to @jekinney for post this solution in https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/mixed-content-issue-content-must-be-served-as-https

@sorcjc If you wish to override the asset helper, then ya, don't put an if statement around it and just make sure composer is autoloading your helper file.

If you use secure_asset(), it will only use https.

forceSchema('https') has changed to forceScheme('https') from Laravel Version 5.4

Or, you can use asset('foo/bar.zip', env('REDIRECT_HTTPS')) individually.

Or, you can use secure_asset('foo/bar.zip') individually.

Or, You can add it in your AppServiceProvider's boot method.

<?php
namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot(UrlGenerator $url)
{
  if(env('REDIRECT_HTTPS'))
  {
    $url->forceScheme('https');
  }
}

Thank you 'sorcjc' it really helps me:

I'm using Laravel 5.4

example {{ asset ('js/app.js') }} to {{ secure_asset('js/app.js') }}

as of 5.4 it's

$url->forceScheme('https');

with an "e".
