Tomeu and Michael,
It turns out Python has a method you can pass a filename to and it will
identify if the file is a Zip file or not, based on the "magic number",
not the filename. It seems to do the trick.
Thanks,
James Simmons

You might examine python's mimetypes module or the 'file' command.
I think you can also add that mime type to the tube's metadata and
read it from the receiving side?
