I tried, and it doesn't seem to work:

% gnutls-cli --comp DEFLATE -p 5223 jabber.org
Resolving 'jabber.org'...
Connecting to '208.245.212.98:5223'...
*** Fatal error: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
*** Handshake has failed
GNUTLS ERROR: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.

Does anyone know why?  (Are there any public non-ejabberd servers to
test with nowadays?)
