Profile Management
This section demonstrates the formation of configuration profiles in preparation for downloading. To explain
the functionality, TFTP from a local PC is used as the resync method, although HTTP or HTTPS can be used
as well.

Compress an Open Profile with Gzip

A configuration profile in XML format can become quite large if the profile specifies all parameters individually.
To reduce the load on the provisioning server, the phone supports compression of the XML file, by using the
deflate compression format that the gzip utility (RFC 1951) supports.
