To accept www.xxx you need to translate the host into IPv4 numbers.
Something like


void
host_to_ip(char *dst, const char *src)
{
  struct hostent *hp;
  char **p;

  hp = gethostbyname(src);
  if(hp == NULL) {
    /* Host not found */
    dst = 0;
  }
  else {
    for(p = hp->h_addr_list; *p != 0; ++p) {
      struct in_addr in;

      memcpy(&in.s_addr, *p, sizeof(in.s_addr));
      /* dst needs to be at least 16 characters - "123.123.123.123\0" */
      strcpy(dst, inet_ntoa(in));
  }
}

Hope this helps.
