Question

I have laravel 5.0 . and set sessions drivers to database . I have some link that no require to insert new row in sessions table . how i can disable inserting new row only for www.site.com/download .

Answer 1

Create a new route/middleware type for sessionless access. Do this by adding a new middleware group in your Http/Kernel that doesn't include the StartSession middleware, then adding a new route file to hold all your download links, and then registering your new route file in your RouteServiceProvider.
Edit the $middlewareGroups array in app/Http/Kernel.php to look like the following:
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
'bindings',
],
'sessionless' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
],
];
Then edit your app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider to map your newly-created route file:
Route::group([
'middleware' => 'sessionless',
'namespace' => $this->namespace,
'prefix' => 'download',
], function ($router) {
require base_path('routes/downloads.php');
});
Now add a file in your /routes directory named downloads.php, and add your downloadable routes there. If you want to use a wildcard to parse what file they're looking for, you can, or you can explicitly list what routes will trigger a download:
Route::get('test', function(){
$file = '/path/to/test/file';
return response()->download($file);
});
Route::get('{fileName}', function($fileName){
$file = '/path/to/' . $fileName;
return response()->download($file);
});
This doesn't address using headless authorization, which you would need if you didn't want unauthorized access to all of your sessionless routes.

Answer 2

this solution is good for laravel 5.0
first must define two middleware in app/http/kernel.php .first middleware is lesssession . lesssession is for route that do not need session .and second is hasssession middleware .hassession is good for route that need session :
<?php namespace App\Http;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;
class Kernel extends HttpKernel {
/**
* The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
*
* #var array
*/
/**
* The application's route middleware.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => 'App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate',
'hassession' => [
'Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode',
'Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies',
'Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse',
'Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession',
'Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession',
'App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken',
],
'lesssession' => [] ,
'auth.basic' => 'Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth',
'guest' => 'App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated',
];
}
step 2:
put route in two group by edit app/http/route.php:
<?php
Route::group(['middleware' => ['lesssession']], function()
{
Route::get('download', function(){
// do some stuff for download file
});
});
Route::group(['middleware' => ['hassession']], function()
{
// all other route that need session
});
?>
