gzip not work with v1.12
I am not sure what happened.
The gzip compress of my website works fine in `v1.11`.
However, in `v1.12` all files are uncompressed.

My usecase is basic as follows, where my static files locate in `/web` directory.
```
app = Flask(__name__, static_folder='web', static_url_path='')

app.config['COMPRESS_MIMETYPES'] = ['text/html', 'text/css', 'text/xml', 
                                    'application/json',
                                    'application/javascript', 'font/ttf', 'font/otf', 'application/octet-stream']

Compress(app)
```
