A Redirect is a function of a browser, not HTTP. So your initial call to the first function from wwIPStuff will only return the text of the redirect directive to you, and do nothing else. You will have to manually go out and grab the second file yourself.

The way I would do this, is make the first call initiate the file compression, and simply return the name or path to the corrected file. On the client side, use the information from the first call to get the file in another call.
