Hi Nigel,
I was thinking there was a better page than this but if you scroll
down this page and look for RequestParameterModule it should do what
you need.

http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/modules-ref.html

In forrest, I think it's prefix is just like that example so it would
be something like: {request-param:var} to get "42" in your url above.
