Is TLS-level compression with Apache possible?

Apache2 can transfer compressed data by using the deflate filter. However, it does a HTTP-level compression: it sends back a compressed response, and it shows in the response headers to the clients to deal with it accordingly. However, not this is what I want. Beside the https-level compression, also TLS has a compression functionality (for example, here is it visible in the mbedtls API). Can I set up somehow Apache to compress the SSL transfers with it, and not on the http level?
