The filter doesn't determine where the cgi redirects you to. This  
needs to be fixed in your weblogin server's cosign.conf. Specifically,  
the validation URL for your service names needs to be changed. If your  
service name is cosign-protectedService and your appname is  
protectedService, you need a cosign.conf entry looking like this:

service cosign-protectedService 
https://myserver.example.edu/protectedService/cosign/valid 
  0 myserver-certificate-name\.example\.edu

This is by design: the cgi in cosign 3 always redirects to a known URL  
associated with the service, whereas earlier versions of the cgi would  
redirect to whatever location was on the query string, regardless of  
whether that location was safe.
