CakePHP: How to access $this->request inside a model

Question

I'm on CakePHP v2.4.

In a model's afterSave() callback, I want to do something conditionally, depending on conditions of the request. However $this->request does not seem to be defined here:

public function afterSave( $created, $options=array() ) {
    $this->log( $this->request ); //NOTHING HERE
}

How do I do this?

You can access it via the global Router class.

public function afterSave( $created, $options=array() ) {
    $this->log( Router::getRequest() );
}
