for gz compression, you have options

if you want just the data compressed, use gzcompress

if you want actual gzip file data, use gzencode

you can use the $_GET table

http.request("http://somesite/derp.php?data="..textutils.urlencode(text).."&mode=compress")

then for php

if ($_GET["mode"]=="compress") {
echo compress_function($_GET["data"]);
} elseif ($_GET["mode"]=="decompress") {
echo decompress_function($_GET["data"]);
}
