Request headers bag is missing Authorization header in Symfony 2?

I'm trying to implement a custom authentication provider in Symfony 2. I'm sending a test request using Fiddler and printing all headers server side; well, Authorization header is missing.

Am i doing something wrong?

GET /RESTfulBackend/web/index.php HTTP/1.1
Authorization: FID 44CF9590006BF252F707:jZNOcbfWmD/
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Fiddler
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: it-it,it;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3

Listener just prints the headers and quits:

class HMACListener implements ListenerInterface
{
    private $securityContext;

    private $authenticationManager;

    public function handle(GetResponseEvent $event)
    {
        $request = $event->getRequest();
        print_r($request->headers->all()); 
        die();
     }
}

Response is missing Authorization header:

Array
(
    [host] => Array
        (
            [0] => localhost
        )
    [user-agent] => Array
        (
            [0] => Fiddler
        )
    [accept] => Array
        (
            [0] => text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml
        )
    [accept-language] => Array
        (
            [0] => it-it,it;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
        )
)

You must add this code to a virtualhost tag

It will not work if you put it in a Directory tag.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
    RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
