Hi,

That's what Ben and Tom were talking about. One party sets a header that 
says "I would also accept compressed format if you are capable to send 
that" and the other party then sends compressed data. Which compression 
methods are available can also be specified in the headers. This has 
nothing to do with calling an external gzip/bzip2 program.
