Where can I set headers in laravel
I want to set headers as array('Cache-Control'=>'no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate','Pragma'=>'no-cache','Expires'=>'Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT'); for all my views, currently I'm doing this in all controllers while returning views, like
$headers=array('Cache-Control'=>'no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate','Pragma'=>'no-cache','Expires'=>'Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT');
Redirect::to('/',301,$headers);`
So instead of writing this for each and every route can it be done in global scope, so that headers are set for every view.
I tried setting headers by creating after filter, but didn't get it to work.
Can anyone tell me where can I set the headers for all my views?
UPDATE One of my view file meta content
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>
Now when i use Redirect::to('/',301,$headers)
The header in firebug is
Cache-Control max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-cache, no-store, private
Connection Keep-Alive
Content-Type text/html; charset=UTF-8
Date Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:52:08 GMT
Expires Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT
And when I use Redirect::to('/');
The header in firebug is
Cache-Control no-cache
Connection Keep-Alive
Content-Type text/html; charset=UTF-8

In Laravel 5, using Middleware, creating a new file, modifying an existing file:
New file: app/Http/Middleware/AddHeaders.php
<?php namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\Middleware;
// If Laravel >= 5.2 then delete 'use' and 'implements' of deprecated Middleware interface.
class AddHeaders implements Middleware
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$response = $next($request);
$response->header('header name', 'header value');
$response->header('another header', 'another value');
return $response;
}
}
Modify existing file app/Kernel.php
protected $middleware = [
.
.
.
'App\Http\Middleware\AddHeaders',
];
And you're set.
