Ok, it seems like these object are not implemented in Firefox, only in
Thunderbird... :-( So I'm not gonna use them... But I have to
reimplement a NNTP protocol by hand based on the socket. I have looked
at the jslib project to play with the socket, but I have a problem. My
script is

var socket = new Socket();
socket.open("news.videotron.ca",119);
socket.async(myObserver);

when I get the welcome string form the server in the myObserver, I call


socket.write("GROUP netscape.mozilla.dev.xul\n");
socket.async(myObserver);

to get the number of news in the newsgroup, but I never get an answer.
The only answer from the news server is a "503 time out" message after
few minutes. 
Can we make a scenario like 
OPEN SOCKET
READ
WRITE
READ
WRITE
....
CLOSE

It look like after one read and one write, the inputStreamBuffer and
outputStreamBuffer are stuck. Do we have to reset them ?
How can I do this scenario ?
