Passing an email address as param with a plus(+) sign

I'm trying to pass a valid email address as a parameter in the url.

foo+bar@example.com

in my model it strips the + sign.

function confirm($email){
$this->set('email',$email);
}

confirm.ctp

<?php echo $email ?>

outputs

foo bar@example.com

I believe this is happening prior to the controller function getting
ahold of the string as I've tried various encoding functions including
Security::cipher() at the beginning of the function upon decoding I
still get the above output. Can anyone suggest how I might be able to
retain the + sign in my controller logic and back out to the view?
