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.
