You can retrieve some statistics using curl_easy_info and you can capture
traces with CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION. But, that won't include SSL, TCP, IP or 3G
overhead. Most of that is tracked at the OS level on the network interface (see
ifconfig).

How often is this sensor sending data? It could easy use that much if it's
sending just a 10 byte payload once every minute from the overhead of a full SSL
handshake plus an additional authentication handshake each time.
