Sharepoint HTTP compression

as you know, you can enable IIS compresion to improve Sharepoint performance over WAN (http://www.bluedoglimited.com/SharePointThoughts/ViewPost.aspx?ID=63).

However, when you open documents from Sharepoint using Office (Excel or Word), then compression does not work. It looks like it's because Windows WebDav client does not support header "Accept-Encoding:"(gzip or deflate). Without this header compression will not work.
