Looks like you maybe inserting @@ in the username, one url-encoded and one not. Try this:

POST /Home/Login HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: f5.lab.domain.net\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n\r\nUserName=foo%40bar.com&Password=foobar

Failing that I would suggest you do a packet capture to see what is being sent/received.

    You are correct. That was a typo on my part. Ill try a packet-capture to see if anything stands out.
