How to get webresponse using gzip compression

Question

I have tried the code below to get webresponse from the server.

C#

string soap = "my xml file";
HttpWebRequest req =(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://212.170.239.71/appservices/http/FrontendService");
req.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=utf-8";
req.Accept = "text/xml";
req.Method = "POST";
using (Stream stm = req.GetRequestStream())
{
    using (StreamWriter stmw = new StreamWriter(stm))
    {
        stmw.Write(soap);
    }
}

WebResponse response = req.GetResponse();
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlTextReader myXMLReader = null;
myXMLReader = new XmlTextReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string asdfgh = myXMLReader.ReadOuterXml();
xDoc.Load(myXMLReader);

But now the agents of the webservice told me to use Gzip compression to send the request and recieve the response.

I am just clueless to use Gzip compression.
Please help me

You may setup IIS to use compression on HTTP...

You can try this.

C#

using (Stream stm = req.GetRequestStream())
{
  using (GZipStream compressionStream = new GZipStream(stm, CompressionMode.Compress))
  {
    byte[] input = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(soap);
    compressionStream.Write(input, 0, input.Length);
  }
}
