What form data can be GZIP'd?

I would like to send info from a non-browser based device using http using POST. Because of limitations on the device I need to compress the data I send.

I find if I use POST data format of multipart/form-data to send the data I can have the data automatically go into PHP variables on the server side.

I ahve this working well for uncompressed data but I am not sure what the protocol is for compressed data.

After which header do I start to compress the data:

Content-Type: multipart/form-data
Content-Disposition: data
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary


If anyone knows where this might be documented please let me know.

Thanks

Greg
