Description
-------

This patch disables SSL compression support in KIO::TCPSlaveBase to prevent 
"CRIME" based SSL attacks. This attack is a type of "man in the middle" attack 
that only works when both client and server support SSL compression. The same 
researchers have just recently devised a new technique based on "CRIME" dubbed 
"TIME", but the mitigation for that one seems to be practicing better security 
on the server side.
