gzip compression... and file downloads

[czukoman20]

I am trying to gzip compress my site... I did the simple php.ini way first (zlib.compression) .... then I did the script like this.

<?php
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING']) && substr_count($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip'))
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
else
ob_start();
?>

 

both of those work fine... but when I am in magento, the download module reads the downloadable file in a .BIN type script rather than a .zip download.

 

Is there something I can add to the above script in order to exclude certain pages.. or files from the script?

 

Thanks much appreciation
