Right. "&gt;" is an HTML-encoded ">" (gt = greater than). The browser is
smart enough to translate "&gt;" to ">", whose ASCII code is 62 (or 0x3E
in Hex).

If you change to "...&submit1=login%20%20%3E" I think you'll get a bit
closer. It appears (based on the response headers that Daniel refers to)
that the server does differentiate between the two.

That "&gt;" might be differently sent by a browser, but I'm not 100%
sure.
