Sending gzipped form data

Question

I've heard how browsers can receive gzipped pages from the server. Can they also gzip form data that they send to the server? And if it's possible, how would I decompress this data on the server?

I'm using AppEngine's webapp module, but a general explanation / pointers to tutorials would be sufficient. I've done some googling to no avail.

Answer 1

Short answer: No.
