@ sign is treated as literal. When value of parameter is not inclosed
in quotes it is always treated literal. And result URL is correct - it
is just that @ was URL escaped there. Technically URLs like
http://domain/?param=3D@ and http://domain/?param=3D%40 are exactly
equivalent.

Could it be a problem that your script requires form submited using
POST instead of GET or it needs additional params?
