google adwords batchjob API + compression

[sho]

When using the batch job API for uploading 20K keywords, the generated soap XML exceeds 8MB and uploading that to the google servers takes some time.

When compressing the XML using gzip, the size is lowered to 75K.

I do manage to upload the gzipped xml, however I always get an error indicting the uploaded file is corrupt.

In the best practises document, you mention that all APIs support gzip:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices#use_compression

Does that include the batchjob API? if not, it will be a welcome and most desired feature.

Thanks,
