RewriteRule in .htaccess disables directive AddInputFilter DEFLATE from httpd.conf

[kwyjibo <kwyjibo@xxxxxxx>]

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:

<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:

/.htaccess
/test.php
/api/web/index.php

And the contents of the .htaccess is:

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 
request gets decompressed 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?
