Missing sign-off (see [1] for what this means).

[1] https://elinux.org/Developer_Certificate_Of_Origin

However, I don't think this change is correct.  secure_value() places
the encoded strings into the authstr, which is what validate_value() is
reading, so field and value are already URL encoded here.

This is why field is url_decode()'d later in this function before
comparing with the expected value.
