Laravel form HTTPS action

Question

I'm using Laravel in an application that I would like to be HTTPS-only.

In one view that is shown on https://example.com/p I open a form like this:

{{ Form::open(['method' => "POST", "id" => "whatever"]) }}

Laravel parses it to this:

<form method="POST" action="http://example.com/p" accept-charset="UTF-8" id="whatever">

This looks good on the first sight, but remember, this is on an HTTPS page so I get a mixed-content warning when displaying the page.

But it gets even worse. I configured my server to redirect HTTP request to the according HTTPS resource. That means, my browser posts the form content to the server, which redirects it to the HTTPS-location. The browser then drops the POST-request and sends a regular GET-request to the server which results in exactly the same page the use has seen before.

Why does Laravel fill in the wrong protocol? How can I set the right one?

Define your routes with https option and call that route to form action. For Example"

Route

Route::group(array('https'), function(){
    // all of our routes
    //for your form acction
    Route::post('form', array('as' => 'form/action', 'uses' => 'ExampleController@postForm'));  
}

So the route under https group should be https, even route for form to.

Thanks for your answer, but now every link just throws a 404 error, with and without HTTPS. – Johann Bauer Feb 17 '15 at 16:12
right, can you provide me example url you are try to..? – Safoor Safdar Feb 17 '15 at 16:34
It worked as it made the right link but it didn't detect the routes. Guess there is something broken with my configuration. Your answer was correct though. – Johann Bauer Feb 17 '15 at 16:51
