It remembers the original URL as 'came_from' but without the original
querystring.
By the time you get to login_form, the original QUERY_STRING value has
been lost, and it now contains the came_from.
e.g.
URL I'm trying to reach: http://www.mysite.org/opprtunity/cancel/?opp_id=29
cookie crumber redirects this to:
http://www.mysite.org/login_form?came_from=http%3A//www.mysite.org/opportunity/cancel/index_html&retry=
so if I access QUERY_STRING, it is now:
came_from=http%3A//www.mysite.org/opportunity/cancel/index_html&retry=
and my original:
opp_id=29
has been lost :(
