php - Laravel 5, have full url as a route parameter -

i need pass full url route parameter on laravel 5 application, thing follows. i'm creating thumbnail service having url of original photo resizes , streams browser. example, need img source have src this:

<img src="http://host.com/generate-thumb/300x300/http://host.com/images/media1.png"/> 

so in controller can original image url this:

public function thumbaction(request $request, $size, $original_url){     dd($size, $original_url);  } 

and route definition follows:

route::get('/generate-thumb/{size}/{original_url}', array(    'as' => 'thumb_hook',    'uses' => 'thumbcontroller@thumbaction' )); 

i have done way server responds 404 error.

i have specified url pattern in where method of route definition.

does knows how that?

the issue you're running url parameters are, default, delimited forward slashes (/). since 1 of parameters contain forward slashes, run special situation.

given current route definition, , given url http://host.com/generate-thumb/300x300/http://host.com/images/media1.png, happens size parameter gets 300x300, original_url parameter gets http:, , there bunch more parameters. since don't have route defined this, 404.

in order allow parameter accept forward slashes, need define regex constraint parameter. need define route this:

route::get('/generate-thumb/{size}/{original_url}', array(         'as' => 'thumb_hook',         'uses' => 'thumbcontroller@thumbaction'     ))     ->where('original_url', '.*'); 

this .* constraint allow parameter accept character, including forward slashes. note when this, parameter need last defined parameter, since eats forward slashes , won't able delimit other route parameters.
