HTTP Request sampler's Content Encoding field is related to Accept-Charset header. UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1, etc. If you want to allow gzip you should use an HTTP Header Manager inside you sampler with a parameter/value like one of these:
Accept-Encoding/gzip or Accept-Encoding/gzip,defalte or some other combination of content compression encoding values. Hope it helps you.
