Special Characters in a SAML 1.x Assertion Consumer URL Query String Cause Error (89452)

Symptom:

A SAML 1.x response was causing an error because special characters in the Assertion Consumer Service URL query parameters were not handled correctly.

Solution:

If the Assertion Consumer URL query parameters use any special characters, an exception is no longer thrown while converting the response from a string to XML document type.
