Hi,

FYI.

It turned to be a classic string termination problem.

It was a bug in gstdin in shibresponder.cpp.

A buffer was being allocated for the submitted data but it wasn't being
terminated properly. After the first time around this was causing errors
with messages that were shorter than the original.


I've attached a patch which fixes this issue for me.

The authorizer doesn't seem to be affected as it does not process HTTP
request bodies.



Scott: thanks for the replies and tips along the way!
