This becomes worse when one intends to write a converter from a nsIInputStream to another nsIInputStream, as the developer further needs to manipulate nsIInputStreamPump and threads. While it is quite easy to implement a nsIScriptableInputStream from JS, there is no facility to convert a nsIScriptableInputStream to a general-purpose nsIInputStream. My guess is that it's quite easy to implement -- in C++. Pretty please ? Reproducible: Always
