How do I pass a URL as a parameter of an URL in Zend Framework?

Question

My question spawns from me sending an email to the user with something like the following:

http://mydomain.net/login/index/dest/%2Finvitation%2Fconfirm%2Fconfirmation_key%2F15116b5e4c61e4111ade679c10b3bf27

As you can see, what I'm trying to do is pass a url as the parameter "dest" so that the login page will know where to redirect after the user logs in. However, I'm presented with the following:

This is the View I use to create the email:

<p>
<?if($this->invitation->user):?>
<a href='<?=$this->serverUrl($this->baseUrl().$this->url(array(
    'action'=>'index',
    'controller'=>'login',
    'dest'=>$this->url(array(
        'action'=>'confirm',
        'controller'=>'invitation',
        'confirmation_key'=>$this->invitation->confirmation_key
    ))
)));?>'>Log in to confirm this invitation.</a>

//The view continues...

Any idea on how to keep this from translating the URI encoded items to their literal value would be greatly appreciated.

Can't you just send it over as a simpel GET parameter?

Like http://mydomain.net/login/index/?redirect=/invitation/confirm/confirmation_key/15116b5e4c61e4111ade679c10b3bf27

That's how it's mostly done actually.
