Web Reference Tool and HTTP Compression

Question

I used the Web Reference Tool 2.0 for the following .WSDL file to obtain my codes in VBA. 

http://energywatch.natgrid.co.uk/EDP-PublicUI/PublicPI/InstantaneousFlowWebService.asmx

However I should 

"

Enable HTTP Compression 

HTTP Compression had been made mandatory for API’s. Thus API’s client should

include “Accept-Encoding: zip” header as part of request and should be able to

Is there a quick and easy way to do this from my VBA Editor?
