Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
Resolution
There are no connect options to control TLS compression. 

Further, OpenSSL does not allow setting this on a per-connection basis. 
"An OpenSSL client speaking a protocol that allows compression (SSLv3, TLSv1) will unconditionally send the list of all compression methods enabled with SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() to the server during the handshake. Unlike the mechanisms to set a cipher list, there is no method available to restrict the list of compression method on a per connection basis."

For additional information refer to the OpenSSL documentation.
