I am calling internal API route from controller but unable set headers using laravel 8
$request = Request::create('/api/login/', 'POST',['id' => '1']);
$request->headers->set('Authorization','Basic YWJjOjEyMw==');//not working
$response = Route::dispatch($request);
print_r($response);
Have you tried using the Http facade for that?
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
$response = Http::withHeaders(['Authorization' => 'Basic ...'])->post('/api/login');
$json = $response->json();
$specific_field = $response->json('specific_field');
post(url('/api/login/'))
php artisan serve starts develpment server, that can handle only one request at time. So when you call api with Http facade, you are trying to start second request from the first and second needs to wait until first is complete, before it can run. And first can not complete, because it is waiting for second to complete, so you have created a deadlock.if you want to sent an http request, try to use Guzzle HTTP client.
if it's not install in your Laravel project, install it via this command :
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
http get example :
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
$response = Http::get('http://example.com');
$response = Http::post('http://example.com/users', [
'name' => 'Steve',
'role' => 'Network Administrator',
]);
for more information visit Laravel doc here.
note: you should provide the full link. in my case in local and with the Laragon. I provide the following URL
myproject.test/user/activity.
so in your case consider the port and the route url.it might be something like this:
localhost:8000/to/your/route
dd($request->headers->all());before dispatching it and see if you can find your Authorization header. It should be there. Maybe it's something else that's failing. Maybe it should beBearerinstead ofBasic?
