New submission from naif <naif at globaleaks.org>:

TLSv1 support compression with gzip/deflate that can provide for a lot of protocols a great improvement (just think about SIP/TLS or IMAP) in terms of bandwidth.

Currenly Python SSL stack based on OpenSSL doesn't allow the configuration (enabling/disabling/forcing) of TLS compression.

This ticket is about suggesting to implement TLS compression configuration of OpenSSL as described on:
