In the above example requestArrivingAtServer has 2 properties: body and headers which contain the data from the HttpRequest arriving at the server. You can for example check the request body using:

It uses an ArrayBlockingQueue as a means to pass the incoming request between the Jetty request handler thread and the test thread.
