 |

I have configured my apache installation to accept a gzipped body on http requests. I did this by adding in the main apache configuration file the following lines:
| Code: | <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<IfModule mod_filter.c>
SetInputFilter DEFLATE
</IfModule>
</IfModule> |
It works as expected except in the case that a matching RewriteRule directive is found, but I am not sure if I am missing something in my configuration or this is a bug or unexpected behaviour.
My test suite is the following:
The folder/file structure is:
| Code: | /.htaccess
/test.php
/api/web/index.php |
And the contents of the .htaccess is:
| Code: | RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^api(.*)$ api/web/index.php [L] |
The PHP files just outputs the body contents for testing.
POSTing to /test.php or /api/web/index.php with a compressed body works as expected, decompressing the request body correctly.
POSTing to /api/, /api/web/ or /api/web/something (that is any request to api/* will get redirected to /api/web/index.php) does not get the body decompressed.
Can anybody point to me what I am missing? |

It is not InputFiler but OutputFilter
AddOutputFilter or AddOutputFilterByType
example
[code]
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/php text/css text/js text/javascript text/javascript-x application/x-javascript font/truetype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript application/rss+xml
DeflateCompressionLevel 9
</IfModule> |

Hello James Blond,
Thanks for answering.
Just to be sure, do you mean that in order to make my apache installation being able to accept http gzip compressed body requests I have to use AddOutputFilter instead of AddInputFilter? |

| Sorry I got that wrong. AddInputFilter is right for that. |
