Minimize Bandwidth

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Hello Chaps,

 

I have a python application that hits a web service on a regular basis to
post a string of CSV log data and I'm looking to minimize the amount of
bandwidth that the application uses to send the log data.

 

Is there any way to encode the string into base64 or something, that I can
then post and decode at the other end? Is that likely to save me bandwidth
perhaps? I don't really know much about this encoding stuff, but the smaller
I can compress the string the better.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob
