HttpWebRequest, transfer-encoding?

[EMonaco]

I need to post some data to a server. As I understand it (which is not to
say I do understand it) I should be able to include a "transfer-encoding:"
header of say- gzip, then gzip my content before posting. Since it is a
transfer-encoding, I assume any half decent web server should be able to
automatically ungzip it before passing it on to whatever app needs to handle
it.

Is this assumption correct? If so, does .NET support gzip transfer encoding
or do I need an external library, program, etc.
If external is necessary, where should I look.

Regards,
Erin
