 The OpenSSL library has the compression methods B<COMP_rle()> and (when
 especially enabled during compilation) B<COMP_zlib()> available.
 
+And, there is an environment variable to switch the compression
+methods off and on. In default the compression is off to mitigate 
+the so called CRIME attack ( CVE-2012-4929). If you want to enable 
+compression again set OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB to "no".
+
+The variable can be switched on and off at runtime; when this variable
+is set "no" compression is enabled, otherwise no, for example:
+
+in shell 'export OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB=no'
+or in C to call
+int setenv(const char *name, const char *value, int overwrite); and
+int unsetenv(const char *name);
+
+Note: This reverts the behavior of the variable as it was before!
+
+And pay attention that this freaure is temporary, it maybe changed by
+the following updates.
