I'm not 100% sure of this, but I don't think GZIP compression was added to the
connector until Tomcat 5.0.xx.  Look at the appropriate docs to verify this. 
Either way, you can always write a servlet filter to do the compression.  This
way you don't have to worry about whether Tomcat (or any other app server)
natively supports gzip compression.
