I at least am still unconvinced that what you're trying to do makes sense.
You should not be sending requests to the IdP, that's the job of the SP.
If you're not running an SP, then that's a different matter. Then you'd be
trying to implement your own, which is a very different set of issues, and
much more work.

I don't think you should be doing it at all, or at least that isn't
self-evident.
