Same issue as in bug 29864?

Thanks Sebastian, I think you're right.  I'll verify both of these when looking
at this bug.  Since three separate people have reported this, I'm marking it
new.

This is what we submit:

<headers>
Content-Length: 80

referrer=null&MfcISAPICommand=SignInWelcome&UsingSSL=0&userid=XXXX&pass=XXXXXX

This is what Nav submits:
<headers>
Content-length: 81

MfcISAPICommand=SignInWelcome&UsingSSL=0&userid=XXXX&pass=XXXXXX&referrer=+null

I notice two major differences.  One is that we are stripping the leading space
off of the "referrer" value so instead of submitting " null" like we should, we
are instead submitting "null".  This is bad, but is not preventing the login

The other major difference, and that preventing the login is that the bariables
are not submitted in the same order that they appear on the page.  This is
reported as bug 18728.  This is the first major site I've seen affected by the
bug, but along should bump up the priority of the bugfix.

Marking this a duplicate.
