The answer is yes... kind of...

Currently a reading of the CCI Protocol Specification implies that a CCI clients should be able to tell Mosaic to:

  1. go to a specific URL
  2. send all documents of a specific MIME type to the client
  3. send the URLs of all the anchors the user visits to the client
  4. display data of a specific MIME type.
  5. post data to the HTTP server
  6. quit

Not all of the above are available yet. Currently (2) is very broken and crashes both Mosaic and the client, (5) is not supported by Mosaic or the API, while (4) and (6) are not supported by the API.

Actually, it's probably a good job (5) is not yet supported (even though it is potentially very useful) since CCI doesn't yet have any form of authentication for connections (something which needs fixing if it's every going to be used in the RealWorld tm).
