Summary of Changes

The login module adds a return URL as a base64 encoded string. The login form needs to transport this in the right way.

Testing Instructions

Use a component which uses the login page and requires a redirect after successful authentication. If this is not available, a simple link like in the example for the BEFORE behavior is enough.

1. open the test URL
2. login with a user
3. see the return URL in the browser address bar (you will see an error page, but this is expected since the referenced component is not available)

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

URLs like http://localhost/index.php/component/users/login?return=aW5kZXgucGhwP29wdGlvbj1jb21fZXZlbnRnYWxsZXJ5JnZpZXc9Y2hlY2tvdXQmbGF5b3V0PWNoYW5nZSZJdGVtaWQ9MTY3 will not trigger a redirect to the origin of the login-attempt (index.php?option=com_eventgallery&view=checkout&layout=change&Itemid=167).

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

After a successful login, the redirect to the origin of the login attempt works.
