Hello! I`m digging with this problem for a while and couldn`t find references in lists or searches. In Apache 2.4.7 I`m using "InputFilter DEFLATE" to inflate gzipped requests (as documented in http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_deflate.html#enable) and it works great. But a simple rewrite: RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L] makes the inflate stop to work, index.php receives the body still gzipped. If I comment the line above and point my request directly to index.php the inflation works again. I`ve debugged modules/filters/mod_deflate.c and it is aborting inflation on line 1036, when checking body size: /* zero length body? step aside */ bkt = APR_BRIGADE_FIRST(ctx->bb); if (APR_BUCKET_IS_EOS(bkt)) { ap_remove_input_filter(f); return ap_get_brigade(f->next, bb, mode, block, read bytes); } I`m really not aware of any causes for mod_rewrite to be incompatible to mod_deflate. Inflating before or after the rewrite engine I think it should work. Do you have any pointer to understand this issue?
