Cosign Filter creates unparsable URL on post

Testing out the POST error handling in the case where
your session may have timed out and you get redirected
back to the login server.

Looks like the apache filter creates the redirect to

	https://weblogin.example.com/login/basicosign.cgi?https://weblogin.example.com/post_error.html=8ntlC3I......A9f4XtYVmg;&https://servicebox.example.com/cgi-bin/someform.cgi

Normally you have ?cosign-servicename=COOKIE;&https://originalpage/

In this case the service part seems to be replaced by the post_error page, and
so basicosign.cgi is showing an error with 'Unrecognized Service',
rather than showing that post_error.html page.

Here's the filter's Apache configuration:

  CosignService           servicebox.example.com
  CosignCrypto            /var/lib/cosign/ssl/key.pem /var/lib/cosign/ssl/cert.pem /var/lib/cosign/certs
  
  CosignHostname          weblogin.example.com
  CosignRedirect https://weblogin.example.com/login/basicosign.cgi
  CosignPostErrorRedirect https://weblogin.example.com/post_error.html

Any clues?
