SSL socket problem with javascript XPCOM component

[Abhijit]

Hi,

I am writing a javascript XPCOM component, in which I want to open a 
client socket connection with a server that runs TLSv1 protocol.

After connecting to the server, I get an error when I check for data
on the socket. Here is what I do:
const SocketService = 
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/socket-transport-service;1"] 

.getService().QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsISocketTransportService);

var sock = SocketService. createTransport(["ssl"],1,"192.168.0.100", 
1241,null); 	

var InStream = 
socket.openInputStream(Components.interfaces.nsITransport.OPEN_BLOCKING,0,0);
var InputStream = 
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/binaryinputstream;1"] 
createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIBinaryInputStream);
InputStream.setInputStream(InStream);

          Now when I do:

               InputStream.available();

          I get the following error:

uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 
0x80004005(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIBinaryInputStream.available]" 
nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: 
file:///C:/mozilla/dist/bin/components/testComponent.js ::
_get_connection :: line 287"  data: no]

I was wondering if there are some steps that I have missed i.e. after 
creating the socket if some  SSL handshake operations are required.
I would appreciate it if someone can point out what is missing.

Thanks,
-- Abhijit
