If you are running Laravel 4 and behind a load balancer or a reverse proxy, some HTTPS functions like ‘Request::secure()’ and ‘Request::isSecure()’ will return false. If we add the current IP which belongs to the proxy/load balancer to the setTrustedProxies then the Request class will honour the ‘X-Forwarded-Proto’ and other ‘X-Forwarded’ headers and the mentioned functions would work fine. Note: THIS METHOD CANNOT BE TRUSTED unless ALL requests go through a proxy YOU control.

If you are running Laravel 4 behind Cloudflare over HTTPS some functions like ‘Request::secure()’ and ‘Request::isSecure()’ will return false. By using the setTrustedProxies method of the Request facade we can add the Cloudflare IP ranges to trust, thus the Request class will honor the ‘X-Forwarded-Proto’ and other ‘X-Forwarded’ headers.

Starting from 4.1.28, Application::boot() does not initialize sensitive session data anymore. That is, it is accessible, but encrypted. So if you're integrating 3rd party library, which needs external authentification check through sessions, simple checking Auth::check() will not work. However, we can still use old $_SESSION variable. Examples of 3rd party libraries: CkFinder, elFinder (has Laravel package though), MoxieManager. N.B. If you can use Ajax calls for authorization checks, you can still make a custom API with JSON request to user-logged (as an example) to see if user is authentificated.
