In the context of this list that's not nearly sufficiently specific
for anyone to suggest anything. So far the only thing to say is what
you're doing is certainly wrong.

What are "Shibboleths"? SAML 2.0 IDPs running the Shibboleth
implementation? Or SAML 2.0 IDPs in general?
If you "do not know which implementation they use" then clearly the
latter, which makes all of this off-topic for this list.

I'd suggest use of the saml-dev list provided by OASIS instead, but
you should be prepared for more "use ECP", since it was created
specifically for non-browser HTTP clients, which is what you're asking
about.
