I am sorry I was not clear - I don't need to construct the URL from Cake
- I need Cake to HANDLE this URL.
I specify the URL, the vendor generates an email containing the link,
Joe Smith receives the email and clicks on the link.
I was thinking about parsing out the URL in index.php and reconstructing
the bits into the format that Cake expects, but it seems like such a hack.
Is there something I can do with rewrite rules instead to reformat the url?
