title: How can I convert a string into a GZIP Base64 string?
body: <p>I've been trying to figure out using <code>GZIPOutputStream</code>'s and the like but have had no success with understanding them. All I want to do is convert a string of characters - &quot;A string of characters&quot; into a GZIP Base64 format. How can I do this?</p>
  <p>By GZIP Base64 format, I mean the string is first compressed using GZIP, then converted into Base64.</p>
