It has no effect on a redirect.

Your suspicion is right -- that return code is for internal apache
purposes, and is not sent to the client.  Return OK.

I don't really understand why you have two scripts.  You should just let
apache handle serving the zip as a static file.  It's much better at
that than any script you write will be, since it handles If-Modified-
Since, range requests, and all the other HTTP goodies.

Anyway, glad to hear you persevered and got it working.  Congrats!
