At the moment not through this interface. What type of socket channel are you dealing with as there is likely a way to do it using an implementation of this interface.
 NioSocketChannel, EpollSocketChannel or OioSocketChannel
 I see you want it all ... stand by for a PR.
 Fixed by https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/5269

SocketChannel.shutdownInput()?
Is there a way to shutdownInput? I see that there is SocketChannel.shutdownOutput(), but no shutdownInput().
