Laravel get request headers

Question

I am using POSTMAN to send a GET request into the api with a header containing Authorization.

I know the data header works because if it doesn't the route returns a 401 error.

I wanted to get the Authorization header like so:

$access_token = Request::header('Authorization'); 

But noticed that it returns NULL.

So I tried to catch the values with:

die(var_dump(Request::header())); 

And noticed that it doesn't contain any Authorization header. Just host to cookie headers.

update

Should get Authorization: Bearer ACCESS TOKEN

Answer 1

What POSTMAN Version did you use?

Are you on your local machine or managed server, some hosting companies don't allow AUTHORIZATION HEADER.

.htaccess modification

 RewriteEngine On  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .  RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
