Does Ktor still support Java 1.6?

[Dominaezzz]

I don't think even Kotlin itself does anymore.

There is still some code in ktor-network that use reflection to access some JDK 7 APIs. I would be glad if I could have an official answer...

In implementing support for unix domain sockets, I need to remove some of the [Server]SocketChannel.socket().xxx() calls and some of the replacement calls directly on [Server]SocketChannel are only from Java 1.7.

Ah, I thought you were a user as supposed to a contributor. Probably best to ping the devs directly. This channel is rather... unattended compared to other channels.

Well, aspiring contributor... 😀

@e5l Does Ktor still support Java 1.6? Or can I assume Java 1.7 APIs?

[e5l]

Now it’s basically 1.7

Great!
