Could JMeter support binary post data for following two cases

when using vars.putObject function to set array object data.

I am not sure to understand, can you clarify what is currently not possible ?

when using "Content-Encoding: gzip" in post request header the request
body data could be compressed

This duplicates #3693

Liu XP ( migrated from Bugzilla ):
For example:
The implementation source code of HTTP Client 4 in current master branch
jmeter\src\protocol\http\org\apache\jmeter\protocol\http\sampler\HTTPHC4Impl.java

The line 1587 below shows that all the post data will be converted to StringEntity first. Thus, the original post data format couldn't be used, such as ProtoBuff Msg.
StringEntity requestEntity = new StringEntity(postBody.toString(), contentEncoding);

For question 1:
I hope JMeter could support original post data format when the request included special content-type.
Because there is no judging condition about request content-encoding, all request will not be compressed.

For question 2:
I think following entity could be used to support gzipCompress.
HttpEntity entity = EntityBuilder.create().setText(postBody.toString()).gzipCompress().setContentEncoding(contentEncoding).build();
