Well, you can, but not in a well-defined way since no compression
mechanism for TLS has been properly defined yet (AFAIK). What's
missing is an RFC defining the identities of the compression
mechanisms to use.
Still, it's possible to use compression with OpenSSL. Look in
ssl/ssltest.c for examples. Note that the method to add compression
methods may change in the future...
