Description
When you download a tab file directly, we attach the column headers to the top of the file. When downloaded through the external Zipper, these headers are not included. This is due to fact that the zipper accesses the file directly from the file system and the headers are currently stored in the database.

Research direction
Trace the external Zipper path that reads tab files directly from the file system, then compare it with the direct-download path that retrieves column headers from the database. Done means tab files downloaded through Zipper include the same headers as direct downloads; verify the result with the relevant download or Zipper tests if present.
