If the server responds NO because it knows that the same mechanism

The following example illustrates how commands and responses are The following example illustrates how commands and responses are
compressed during a simple login sequence: compressed during a simple login sequence:

The following example demonstrates how a server may refuse to
compress twice:

From this point on, everything is encrypted, and we assume
that TLS negotiation has also enabled TLS compression (see
