[Bug 1417274] [NEW] CVE-2015-0221 backport broke serving static content through GZipMiddleware

[Nelson Elhage]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu backported the CVE-2015-0221 fix, which makes
`django.views.static.serve` stream file contents.  However,
https://github.com/django/django/commit/1e39d0f6280abf34c7719db5e7ed1c333f5e5919
was not backported, and without that fix, the Django GZipMiddleware is
unable to handle streaming content, breaking django applications that
combine static file serving with the gzip middleware. See upstream bug
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24158 for more information.

** Affects: python-django (Ubuntu)
