Are you referring to HTTP?
Which part of the request are you wanting to compress? If I'm not mistaken you can't compress the headers. In addition, even if you do compress the content the server may not accept that.
RFC 2616 deals with HTTP compression, but unfortunately there's not a lot of clarity on request compression.
Here's a write-up on request compression from IBM (WebSphere): http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wci/v6r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.websphere.cast_iron.doc%2Fcompression_decompression_with_the_http_post_request_activity.html
