The only header attribute related to shibboleth we DO see is ‘ShibSpoof’ so something from Shibboleth is making its way into the headers.

If anything is there, either it's all there, or it's not a protected resource at all, but in that scenario it wouldn't redirect you to the IdP either. If you're putting a rule into the RequestMap and accessing the resource directly, getting redirected away, back, and landing on the original resource, then the headers are there. At minimum the standard ones would be, even if attribute issues from the IdP were involved.

So some aspect of that description is not true, or you're not in fact accessing the headers in a fashion that works. That is language-specific and subject to lots of foibles and bugs, as have been discussed on the list at times.

Enumerating headers, for example, is hopeless. Too many bugs in the various environments to do that reliably.
