Hi, I'm developing a JSON-RPC and LSP library using Ktor and kotlin.serialization (<https://github.com/rhdunn/xqt-kotlin-lsp>) and I'm trying to understand how best to build the communication on top of Ktor. I have the JSON object serialization/deserialization figured out.
1. Is it possible to re-use the Ktor header parsing on top of a ByteReadChannel -- e.g. from a socket? -- This is needed for handling the LSP header section for JSON-RPC messages.
2. Is there support for stdio byte channels? (and other byte channels like socket files, windows pipes, node-ipc, etc.) If not, is there any documentation/examples for doing this? -- This is so I can get the byte channels for a given communication type and then use the same code for routing the JSON messages.

1. You can use the <https://api.ktor.io/ktor-http/ktor-http-cio/io.ktor.http.cio/parse-headers.html?query=suspend%20fun%20parseHeaders(input:%20ByteReadChannel):%20HttpHeadersMap|parseHeaders> method to parse a `ByteReadChannel` into a `HttpHeadersMap` .
2. Unfortunately, the Kotlin stdlib doesn’t have such functionality.
