Well you can do it but it wont necessarily do what you want. This will just tell you the number of bytes available on the underlying transport, not the amount of SSL data available. You'll only generally be able to obtain SSL data when a full application data packet has been received. That means that the amount of data available may not be a full packet (in which case you'd get nothing) not application data (again nothing) or even if it was a full packet you'd get less data due to the headers and MAC data.
