encryption and compression are 2 different things. i think you are talking about compression.

to trigger compression, you need to specify it in the HTTP header you send by setting the Accept-Encoding header. This is all your browser does, so you can simulate this in your load test tool.

example:
Accept-Encoding: compress, gzip

most tools allow you to control this by some sort of configuration option.
