Here's a sledgehammer patch to ap_rgetline_core()
to replace r->input_filters with r->proto_input_filters.
This would still mean protocol filters behind ap_http_filter
would need to punt on these calls, but that's a lot
more reasonable than imposing it on AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE
and similar filters as well.
