const kIOSERVICE_CONTRACTID = "@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"; 
const nsISupports = Components.interfaces.nsISupports; 
const nsIIOService = Components.interfaces.nsIIOService; 
const nsIProtocolHandler = Components.interfaces.nsIProtocolHandler; 
const nsIURI = Components.interfaces.nsIURI;

I need a protocol:
