Handling gziped data in scripted SOAP web services is possible?

[Suggy]

We have a scripted soap web service created.

Extenal tool wants to send gziped data to this. Is it automatically handled or should we de-compress using any script?

Anyone knows? 

One of my colleague who is a web developer said - handling data compression should be inbuilt and it will be handled at HTTP layer and modern browsers has inbuilt capability to handle it.

If anyone knows about this, please let me know. tHanks in advance!!!
