Hmm, did you actually look at the file you got? ;-)

I get only gzip-compressed output from this host like the sample by the OP.

This server seems to send compressed output unconditionally, even if a
client (like curl) does not request it.

Solution under Linux, pipe it through gunzip yourself:

     curl http://sannhac.com | gunzip > sample.html

and you have wonderful vietnamese UFT-8 characters inside.
