I made a much smaller test case that works fine. I've since
discovered that the difference between the case that doesn't
work and the case that does is the one that doesn't also
includes and authentication handler in its <Location> section.
From within my authentication handler, I also access query
string parameters. When I do this, the downstream content
handler finds that $r->param() is empty. If I have my
authentication handler not touch $r->param(), then the
downstream content handler properly gets the parameters.
Why does accessing $r->param() from within an authentication
(or, generally, and upstream handler) blow them away for
downstream handlers?
