void addToSocket ( PRInt32 family , char* host , PRInt32 port , char* proxyHost , PRInt32 proxyPort , PRUint32 flags , PRFileDescStar* fileDesc , out nsISupports securityInfo )

This function is called to allow the socket provider to layer a PRFileDesc on top of another PRFileDesc. For example, SSL via a SOCKS proxy.

Parameters are the same as newSocket with the exception of fileDesc, which is an in-param instead.

Arguments:

family

host

port

proxyHost

proxyPort

flags

fileDesc

securityInfo

void newSocket ( PRInt32 family , char* host , PRInt32 port , char* proxyHost , PRInt32 proxyPort , PRUint32 flags , out PRFileDescStar* fileDesc , out nsISupports securityInfo )

Arguments:

family: The address family for this socket (PR_AF_INET or PR_AF_INET6).

host: The hostname for this connection.

port: The port for this connection.

proxyHost: If non-null, the proxy hostname for this connection.

proxyPort: The proxy port for this connection.

flags: Control flags that govern this connection (see below.)
