SOAP compression

[Alex Chen <al...@sbcglobal.net>]

I saw some exchange about compressing SOAP request/response in the mail 
archive
and found some reference to
http://www.osmoticweb.com/axis-soap-compression.htm

I downloaded the file and tried in on a client using Axis 1.2RC1.  It 
worked fine
with regular HTTP traffic. I could see compressed data shown on TCPMon.
But when I switched to HTTPS, I got the following exception.
It seems their implementation only works for HTTP.  Is there any way to 
hook a special handler or interceptor
in AXIS's own http sender to do compression?

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The method shutdownOutput() is not supported in SSLSocket
