Yes the original url looks like
http://....../app.cfm?id=15
and the return url coming back from CAS looks like
http://....../app.cfm?id%3d15

I am pretty sure this is native to the way CAS returns urls, and probably need to ping some ColdFusion folks on how to deal with the urlencoded return. I'll also message the ColdFusion library group.

If anyone out here has CAS experience and can confirm that urlencoded return urls seem normal that would be helpful.

So a user arrives at your app.  You see that they are not logged in, and so 
redirect them to the CAS server with a return URL back to your application.

Do you have an example of that URL?

Subject: [CODE4LIB] urldecode problem and CAS

CODE4LIB,

I'm looking for some urldecode help if possible. I have an app that gets
a call through a url which looks like this in order to pull up a
specific record:
http://....../app.cfm?id=15

It is password protected and we have recently moved to CAS for
authentication. After it gets passed from CAS back to our server it
looks like this and tosses an error:
http://....../app.cfm?id%3d15

The equals sign translated to %3d

Any ideas are appreciated.

thanks

-Jimmy
