# Middleware

Some useful middleware for your HTTP routes of your Laravel app or API.

### ForceHttpsScheme

This middleware will enforce the same scheme to any URL generated by the framework so in any case the current requested URL contains HTTPS won't mix the non-secured HTTP for things like images and other assets embedded using Laravel functions like `asset` , `route` or `url`.

Add this middleware on your Laravel app:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Laravel 11+" %}
Add the following to your `bootstrap/app.php`

<pre class="language-php"><code class="lang-php"><strong>->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
</strong>    $middleware->append([
        \OpenSoutheners\ExtendedLaravel\Http\Middleware\ForceHttpsScheme::class,
    ]);
})
</code></pre>

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Laravel 10" %}
Add the following to your `app/Http/Kernel.php`

```php
/**
 * The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
 *
 * These middleware are run during every request to your application.
 *
 * @var array<int, class-string|string>
 */
protected $middleware = [
    \OpenSoutheners\ExtendedLaravel\Http\Middleware\ForceHttpsScheme::class,
    // The rest of global middleware...
];
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.opensoutheners.com/oss/extended-laravel/middleware.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
