No. Proxies are not allowed to mess around with content-encoding. You
can only do this in servers or gateways.

In some future version Squid may support the related HTTP/1.1
Transfer-Encoding mechanism, also capable of gzip content.. Proxies MAY
change the Transfer-Encoding of proxied content. See
http://devel.squid-cache.org/projects.html#te for the work in progress
for supporting transfer-encoding.
