Https requests "invalid request (unsupported ssl request)"

Question

I'm having problems with Https requests in Laravel 5.1

I created a Middleware like this:

    <?php

namespace Subway\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use App;
use Redirect;

class UseSSL
{
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
          if (!$request->secure() && env('APP_ENV') === 'local')
          {
              return redirect()->secure($request->getRequestUri());
          }
          return $next($request);
    }
}

and my routes are like this:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'use.ssl'], function () {
// All other routes here
});

I registered the middleware in kernel.php

protected $routeMiddleware = [
      'use.ssl' => \Subway\Http\Middleware\UseSSL::class,
    ];

When trying to get to any url, the page doesn't load and the terminal is returning this error:

[Thu Nov 12 11:09:30 2015] ::1:50728 Invalid request (Unsupported SSL request)

What's the problem with this?

Try to past this lines of code:

    public function boot()
    {
        if (!$this->app->isLocal()) {
            $this->app['request']->server->set('HTTPS', true);
        }
    }

into your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file
