COMPRESS::enable request was introduced for the clientside flow when support for compression on that side of the proxy was introduced, allowing you to compress traffic flowing from client->server instead of the traditional server->client. Should be used in the HTTP_REQUEST or HTTP_REQUEST_DATA events. The actual compression does not happen until after the flow passes through the proxy to the serverside.
