Shibboleth Developers

Sorry for the slow response, been out of the office or otherwise 
occupied the last few days.

I'm not sure which method you're saying doesn't work.  What I was 
expecting would be that people would use:

edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.idp.util.HttpServletHelper#getLoginContext(HttpServletRequest)

That would return either a LoginContext or a null.
