You may try use this API:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/44d992ccc97a/netwerk/protocol/http/nsIHttpChannelInternal.idl#l181

Depends on your needs/scenario but when the target server returns 101 
your callback may grab the open underlying socket transport (already 
SSL'ed) and you don't even need to modify the mozilla core code.
