The HTTP request header "Content-Encoding: gzip/deflate/etc" is there
to tell the web server it must decompress its POST data. The web
server *must* support this, for example Apache does this in
mod_deflate with input filters.

JMeter could look for this header and compress outgoing requests if
present, like it does for incoming HTTP responses.

That is an assumption which in my experience is not always true.
That's why there exist Web server modules that support decompression
like mod_deflate in Apache.
