Compression is implemented in SSL 2 TLS using deflate algorithm, but, 
afaik, it's not used, default deflate compression is hardcoded as 
NULL. Check if cyptlib supports Data_Compression_Method negotitation 
and/or recompile it with FAST/BEST or any number between 0-9 deflate mode.

Check : http://www.eventhelix.com/RealtimeMantra/Networking/SSL.pdf

and RFC 3749
