compressing an NSString

Hi everyone:

I'm working on a cocoa app in which i'd like to compress a chunk of xml (stored in an instance of NSString) before sending it over the wire. Is there a recommended way to accomplish this?
I notice that zlib is installed as part of panther, so was thinking that a category on NSString that made use of zlib would be a decent approach, so i could call a method like stringByCompressingString:options: or something similar.


I've never done this sort of thing before, so i thought i would check here to see if:
a. this approach was wrong-headed.
b. something like this already exists somewhere.


thanks,
stephen
