Hi Scott,

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure if you're able to see my responses 
to the mailing list. Chris Card was able to resolve this issue for me. 
It had nothing to do with OpenSAML but rather the implementation of the 
ZLib C Library. By default, if you do not specify the appropriate bit 
size, then it Zlib::Inflate will use either GZip or ZLib, and not the 
raw DEFLATE format.

Documentation was poor on Zlib::Inflate. Chris Card was able to point 
this out to me because he had experienced the same issue before.
