The scriptable interface nsISocketProviderService has a single method, which returns the non-scriptable interface nsISocketProvider. There is no reason for the former interface for be scriptable, since none of the "scriptable" languages can make use of its sole method.

perhaps the method should be made noscript. the interface itself can still be used from script... script can call QueryInterface. we shouldn't prevent script from passing around interfaces as variables just because they don't have any scriptable methods ;-)
another choice would be to make nsISocketProvider scriptable and make its method noscript. that seems best to me. it increases the ability for script to handle and pass around objects of these types.
