I would like to report a bug in openSSL version 0.9.7. I cannot get on-the-fly compression to work using SSL_COMP_add_compression_method. The performance of the ssltest program is the same with or without the -zlib command line option. My own program behaves in a similar way. I have added trace to the ZLIB compress function and the trace does not come out. By hacking the code of s3_{clnt,srv} to force it into thinking that compression is being used the trace statements DO get executed, but just by calling SSL_COMP_add_compression_method they do not.
I understand that as of 0.9.7 SSL_COMP_add_compression_method is all that is needed (i.e no explicit negotiation is needed unlike 0.9.6) but I do not think it is working properly.
