I think this is the wrong way to do it.


Instead you should calll the enableHTTPCompression() method on the RESPONSE 
object.

something like

context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.enableHTTPCompression(context.REQUEST)


This gives you more control over compression. Using your method everything will try to 
be compressed (except for certain mime types), which might not be what you want.
