Depending on what you ultimately want -- so far you've only described
the method you're trying to get working, not what the problem is
you're trying to solve -- you could start by doing nothing and let the
softwre do ing for you.

E.g. let the webserver take care of all of that by requiring a
session when specific resources at the webserver are being accessed.
Alternatively your script can itself initiate the login sequence by
letting the user agent send a specific HTTP GET request to your
Shibboleth SP.
In both cases you don't have to handle (or even know about) any of the
details like passing of messages or ever even seeing XML.
