[syslog-ng] compression during tls

[thejaguar at tutanota.de]

Thats fine if its a copy paste mistake and compression is enabled by default. Yes both sides are on tls. No I dont want to disable, rather wanted to make sure network transfers do get compressed.  Except tcpdump , any other method to confirm ?
Thanks for the response.
