Kunal, 

My local host is set to 

127.0.0.1		localhost	george-oxygen.seitrakker.com

In my hosts file, so technically I am still running through local host. 

I get my metadata file from http://george-oxygen.seitrakker.com:8080/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata 

I am not using a linux machine, I am on Windows. 

Thanks, 

George

from your shibboleths.xml file

            <Handler type="Status" Location="/Status" acl="127.0.0.1 ::1"/>

and it is not commented. This actually means that only http://locahost:8080/Shibboleth.sso/Status should serve the request. if you go by your host name, it should not. I may be wrong. Someone from this list can confirm. This is mentioned in "Initial Testing" section of shibboleth SP documentation @ 

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPLinuxInstall

If I am right, your sp is not using shibboleth2.xml file you attached.

(george-oxygen.seitrakker.com) is set up on.  When you ask me to check metadata for accuracy are you asking me to check SP side or IDP side? IDP side is accurate, can't tell you if mine is or not hence why I am asking for help.

If you are sure IDP side is accurate you need to check yours. Where is the metadata file that you as SP sent to IDP?

Did you try fiddler request trace ?
check this link for how to use fiddler

It seems as though the POST page may be modifying something that is causing this?
