Compressing POST to IIS/5.0

I know it's theoretically possibly to serve gzipped data to a client
request but I want to know if it can be done the other way. That is, if
it is possible for IIS to accept a compressed POST from a client.

I have an SQLXML 3.0 application that accepts XML posts from a client.
These XML files are often up around 5MB but easily compress using gzip
down to about 500KB.
Does anyone know if IIS/5.0, and in particular with SQLXML 3.0, will
accept gziped http? And if so how.

Cheers,
Stuart B

So I guess there's no silver bullet - I'll have to manually unzip the
file when it hits the server?
