The get method makes a simple HTTP GET request returning the results.

string get($uri, $query, $request)

$uri is the web address where the request is being made; $query is any query string parameters, either in string form: "param1=foo&param2=bar" or as a keyed array: array('param1' => 'foo', 'param2' => 'bar').

App::import('Core', 'HttpSocket');
$HttpSocket = new HttpSocket();
$results = $HttpSocket->get('http://www.google.com/search', 'q=cakephp');  
//returns html for Google's search results for the query "cakephp"
