CodeIgniter Validation: possible to validate GET query strings?

Question

The form validation library seems to only work on POST. I need to use query strings and would like to use CI to validate the passed values. Is there a way to do this?

See this page for the CodeIgniter 3 solution:- http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/libraries/form_validation.html#validating-an-array-other-than-post

For CodeIgniter 2 you can do $_POST = $_GET; before $this->form_validation->run() as mentioned above.
