CodeIgniter REST_Controller POST method returning GET

I'm using REST_Controller CodeIgniter library in my project.

I have a login post method that cannot being reachable because REST_Controller is setting method as GET even if I do a POST.

Here is a snippet of my Auth.php controller:

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

require_once APPPATH . '/core/REST_Controller.php';

class Auth extends REST_Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function login_get()
    {
        echo('get');
    }

    public function login_post()
    {
        echo('post');
    }
}

When I do a POST at http://localhost/auth/login using RESTED Google Chrome extension I'm getting the echo('get').

Debbuging REST_Controller I could see that the function _detect_method() is returning method as GET, and this is because in the function method() of Input core class of CodeIgniter $this->server('REQUEST_METHOD') is returning GET.

Why is this happening?

Nevermind, I got the solution!

This was happening just because I forgot to enable mod_rewrite in my Apache.

This fixes the problem:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
