/**
* nsITransport
*
* This interface provides a common way of accessing i/o streams connected
* to some resource. This interface does not in any way specify the resource.
* It provides methods to open blocking or non-blocking, buffered or unbuffered
* streams to the resource. The name "transport" is meant to connote the
* inherent data transfer implied by this interface (i.e., data is being
* transfered in some fashion via the streams exposed by this interface).
*
* A transport can have an event sink associated with it. The event sink
* receives transport-specific events as the transfer is occuring. For a
* socket transport, these events can include status about the connection.
* See nsISocketTransport for more info about socket transport specifics.
