Elastic Beanstalk middleware for Laravel and HTTPS
This middlware will ensure that your Laravel app will correctly recognise secure requests when running on Elastic Beanstalk with a Load Balancer. NOTE: make sure your web server is not publicly accessible and that the Load Balancer only have access (you can manage that through AWS security groups).
There is also a gist that does the exact same thing.
Installation
You can install this middleware through Composer
Usage
The simplest way to use the middleware is to add it as a global middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php
but you are free to add it to a middleware group or directly into your controllers.
TL;DR
On Elastic Beanstalk (with a load balancer), all the requests are being "proxied" to port 80. The load balancer will add the x-forwarded-*
headers to the request.
Laravel Request
inherits from Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request
, so it already supports the x-forwarded-*
headers, but it needs to be configured to look at those headers or you are going to get incorrect informations about the request (eg. $request->isSecure()
will always return false).
The Amazon ELB don't have a static IP or a range to target, so you'll need to trust all proxies. Of course you need to make sure your web server will respond only to the load balancer.
