Not right now.

In WebKitGTK+ we have WebKitNetworkRequest, but we have no way of
supporting custom protocols built into it - some of our API users have
built simple solutions to provide support for some protocols using the
navigation policy signals, and then using GIO directly. Our plan is to
use the SoupURILoader infrastructure that is being built.

Check these out:

I guess you're asking about this for building support for this into
WebKitEFL? Just curious =).

Cheers,
