Passing Query String Parameters to ADFS from SharePoint

Question

The Idp that is used to authenticate visitors to our SharePoint application requires a custom query string parameter used to control content. I can append the parameter using an http module before it goes to SharePoint's STS but then it is dropped before getting to adfs. In Fiddler it looks like this:

Here is the last GET to the /_trust in SharePoint and the Query String parameter is there

GET /_trust/default.aspx?trust=ADFS01&ReturnUrl=/abc/_layouts/Authenticate.aspx?Source=%2Fabc&Source=/abc&whr=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.customidp.com%2FBrandedSTS%2F&parametercode=abc HTTP/1.1

trust       ADFS01
ReturnUrl   /abc/_layouts/Authenticate.aspx?Source=/abc
Source      /abc
whr     https://www.customidp.com/BrandedSTS/
parametercode   abc

But the GET to ADFS ends up dropping it.

GET /adfs/ls/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=urn%3awww%3aportal%3acom&wctx=https%3a%2f%2fwww.portal.com%2fabc%2f_layouts%2fAuthenticate.aspx%3fSource%3d%2fabc&whr=https%3a%2f%2fwww.customidp.com%2fBrandedSTS%2f HTTP/1.1

wa  wsignin1.0
wtrealm urn:www:portal:com
wctx    https://www.portal.com/abc/_layouts/Authenticate.aspx?Source=/abc
whr https://www.customidp.com/BrandedSTS/

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to get SharePoint's STS to pass along any query string parameters or if an Http Module could be added to the STS to accomplish this.

So since the code "abc" was contained inside the wctx parameter we ended up using a RegEx to grab it out of there in the Global.asax and appending it to the url to our STS.
