return Response::json(array('key' => 'value'))->setCallback(Input::get('callback'));
return Response::download($filepath);
return Response::download($filepath, $filename, $headers);
// Create a response and modify its header
$response = Response::make($contents, 200);
$response->header('Content-Type', 'application/json');

// Attach a cookie to the response
return Response::make($content)->withCookie(Cookie::make('key', 'value'));

Helping others is helping yourself; technology shapes life, and knowledge changes destiny!

Life is not always smooth, time is not always spotless, and success does not come instantly; perseverance through loneliness, memories, hardships, and challenges leads to growth, wisdom, and eventual flourishing.
