SF SAML2 request not going to Idp

I'm using Shibboleth for SAML 2 based SSO integration with Sales Force.

On Sales Forice Configuration I get a URL like: (some of the encoded values changed since am exposing to public)

https://login.salesforce.com/?saml=EK03Almz90LziaughNAgF.v7_ZRxxxxxTRV0000_u9iL38wburs18Dyyyy

 

When I hit this URL, and look at the Live header request/responses ..none of them go to "wwww.mymachince.com" = My IDP host.

 

On using some other Sample Test SAML2, I've noticed that when you hit the SP first, it does redirect to the IDP and you can catch that via your browser. ..on using the Sales Force URL It doesnt.

 

Am i looking at the wrong URL? Can someone please explain this? SAML 2 requests all go via the browser and I should see the redirect to my Idp Login Screen, is that not a corect expectation?

 

thanks
