I should have been more clear. I'm assuming that compressing multipart
forms is harder than compressing other kinds of uploads. So, I was asking
if I could change the curl command line I was using so that adding
compression would be easier.

But, I guess what I'm really looking for are pointers in the code so I know
where the work needs to be done.

Thanks much.
