        Try adding your extensions to the ".gz and friends" suffix maps
in HTInit.c:

[...]
    HTSetSuffix(".gz",          "application/GNU Compressed", "binary", 1.0);
    HTSetSuffix(".htz",         "application/GNU Compressed", "binary", 1.0);
    HTSetSuffix(".txz",         "application/GNU Compressed", "binary", 1.0);
    HTSetSuffix(".biz",         "application/GNU Compressed", "binary", 1.0);
[...]
