+You can use the internal ClickHouse compression format when transmitting data. The compressed data has a non-standard format, and you will need to use the special `clickhouse-compressor` program to work with it (it is installed with the `clickhouse-client` package). To increase the efficiency of the data insertion, you may disable the server-side checksum verification with the [http_native_compression_disable_checksumming_on_decompress](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-http_native_compression_disable_checksumming_on_decompress) setting.
 
-If you specified 'compress=1' in the URL, the server will compress the data it sends you.
+If you specified `compress = 1` in the URL, the server compresses the data it sends you.
-If you specified 'decompress=1' in the URL, the server will decompress the same data that you pass in the POST method.
+If you specified `decompress = 1` in the URL, the server decompresses the same data that you pass in the `POST` method.
 
-It is also possible to use the standard gzip-based HTTP compression. To send a POST request compressed using gzip, append the request header `Content-Encoding: gzip`.
+It is also possible to use the standard `gzip`-based [HTTP compression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression). To send a `POST` request compressed using `gzip`, append the request header `Content-Encoding: gzip`.
-In order for ClickHouse to compress the response using gzip, you must append `Accept-Encoding: gzip` to the request headers, and enable the ClickHouse setting `enable_http_compression`.
+In order for ClickHouse to compress the response using `gzip`, you must append `Accept-Encoding: gzip` to the request headers, and enable the ClickHouse [enable_http_compression](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-enable_http_compression) setting. You can configure the compression level of the data with the [http_zlib_compression_level](#settings-http_zlib_compression_level) setting.
 
 You can use this to reduce network traffic when transmitting a large amount of data, or for creating dumps that are immediately compressed.
 
+Examples of sending the data with compression:
+
+```bash
+#Sending the data to the server:
+curl -vsS "http://localhost:8123/?enable_http_compression=1" -d 'SELECT number FROM system.numbers LIMIT 10' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip'
+
+#Sending the data to the client:
+echo "SELECT 1" | gzip -c | curl -sS --data-binary @- -H 'Content-Encoding: gzip' 'http://localhost:8123/'
+```
+
+!!! note "Note"
+    Some HTTP clients can decompress data (`gzip` and `deflate`) from the server by default and you may get the decompressed data even if you use the compression settings correctly.
+
 You can use the 'database' URL parameter to specify the default database.
