I'm attempting this scenario and not seeing the behavior described. That is, I'm 
sending a compressed request and receiving an uncompressed response.

Request:

POST http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/Version.VersionHttpSoap12Endpoint/ 
HTTP/1.1
Content-Encoding: gzip
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8;action="urn:getVersion"
Content-Length: 146
Host: localhost:8080
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: application/soap+xml;action="urn:getVersionResponse";charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:54:27 GMT

I'm running the Axis2 WAR inside of Tomcat 7 and realize I could use Tomcat to 
compress the response. However, I'm in an environment where changing the Tomcat 
configuration is problematic so I need for this compression within Axis2 to 
perform the compression.

Thanks,
