I guess I phrased the question incorrectly, but I got the answer I wanted. Thanks. So JMeter does process files of different content-types. I still have two more related questions
1) I ran a test with five threads processing a zip file ~5Mb. While JMeter was running, it gave a java.lang.outofMemory error. Is there a way to go around this? 2) If the link to the zip file is a redirect to a link to another server where the file resides, how should I go about setting up the HTTP Request object on JMeter? Currently, I'm getting a "java.net.ConnectException: connection refused" error. Thanks for your help.
