Error when POSTing a form to auth route (MethodNotAllowedHttpException)

Question

I am trying to POST a form BEFORE user authentication. User inputs data into a form and POST it to the route protected by auth:

Route::group(['middleware'=>'auth'], function(){ Route::post('v2/payment/start/','PaymentController@generic');

});

If a user IS authenticated BEFORE the POST, the request is processed OK. If a user is NOT authenticated, user gets the login form, enters login password and receives the error "MethodNotAllowedHttpException".

What could be the cause of this? In my LoginController I have:

return redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath());

so, the user should be redirected OK.

Where could be the error?

Answer 1

The problem is that after user is authenticated, they will be redirected using GET method (redirections always use GET method). So you can try to use:

Route::match(['get', 'post'], 'v2/payment/start/','PaymentController@generic');

instead of

Route::post('v2/payment/start/','PaymentController@generic');

to make this route working with both GET and POST methods.
