The contents of the $_GET array is accessible through the $this-
>params['url'] array. With the added bonus that
if you have magic_quotes_gpc on, then they will be stripslashed.
For example, consider the following cake url : /products/search/
foo:bar?ham=eggs
You then have
$this->params['named']['foo'] ---> 'bar'
and
$this->params['url']['ham'] ---> 'eggs'
