php curl not retrieving as expected

I have the following code to capture the html code of a given url:

$url = "https://fnet.bmfbovespa.com.br/fnet/publico/exibirDocumento?id=77212&cvm=true";

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, '/etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

    $html = curl_exec($ch);

    echo "$url\n\n";
    die($html);

For some reason the result of the following url is not as expected:

"https://fnet.bmfbovespa.com.br/fnet/publico/exibirDocumento?id=77212&cvm=true"

Instead of the code, the result is a giant meaningless string.

My question is: There is any cUrl option that i should set to correct this error?

My whole site depends on capturing this pages. Any help would be truly appreciated.

That is base64 encoded, all you need to do is decode it back to plain text like this

echo base64_decode($html);

and you will see HTML
