[pubcookie-dev] truncated uri paths problem

A close partner here is working with a vendor that uses the uri 
path (i.e. SCRIPT_FILENAME) to carry application data, e.g.

/search/blah+blah+blah&a=b&c=d/blah+blah+blah&e=f&g=h/blah,blah

Again, this is in the *path* segment of the requested uri, not the 
query string.

The problem is that this uri will be truncated when it's sent thru 
the login process.

Jim is implementing a fix. I think he intends to base64 encode the 
path as we do with the query string. But only for the post login 
method (which will make this easier).
