SP redirectErrors receives "now" parameter with extra line feed

[Terry Fleury]

I successfully configured my SP to send errors to an absolute URL with 
"redirectErrors" 
(https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPErrors). 
Upon error, several parameters get passed to this URL, as shown in the 
"Internal Parameters" table. This all works just fine.

However, I noticed that the "now" value is terminated with a line feed 
character (ascii char 10) as shown in 
"Fri%20Jan%2027%2016%3A48%3A07%202012%0A". I have to strip this 
character off in my code. None of the other values have this extra line 
feed at the end. Is this intentional? If so, why?
