Can you explain what a "compressed connection stream" is? AFAIK, there
is no such thing supported by the standard server. (And there's been a
wire protocol version change since that release announcement, fwiw)

Possibly, you could convince the underlying SSL/TLS provider to
negotiate SSL compression. I don't know the details of how to do that
offhand.
