Session#params in samizdat/session.rb in Samizdat:

def params(keys)
    result = []
    for key in keys
        value = self[key]
        raise UserError, "Input size exceeds content size limit" if
            value.methods.include? :size and
            value.size > config['limit']['content']
        result <<
            case value
            when String then (value =~ /[^\s]/)? value.to_s : nil
            when StringIO, Tempfile then value.read
            else nil
            end
    end
    return result
end

Is that what you want?
