boolean isCWrapperConnected()

This method returns true if the C-Wrapper is connected to the tcp proxy. The C-Wrapper has to send the tcpProxy clientName as a keyword before any communication can begin. So if the C-Wrapper doesn't send the good keyword or if it doesn't connect to the tcp proxy, this method returns false.
