Partially URL-encoded Target Query String Causes Problem for SAML 1.1 POST (97990)

Symptom:

If any part of the TARGET query parameter is URL-encoded, the entire URL becomes URL-encoded in the AUTO POST form. When the encoded URL arrives at the consumer, the request is not processed correctly.

Solution:

Partial URL-encoding of the TARGET query parameter no longer results in the entire URL being encoded.
