Yes, I know that, but there are actual compression-specs that you can
negotiate at the SSL layer instead of @ the HTTP layer. Then things other
than HTTP user agents would get the benefits of compress-before-you-encrypt
behaviour.
This should really be on the openssl or mod_ssl lists, but thought I'd see
if anybody had run into experience with the various browsers yet. I don't
think any of them support it, but I haven't checked mozilla in a while.
