  I'm trying to create a small browser-like application, whose only purpose in
life is to take a web address
 of a CGI script (ex: www.someaddress.com/cgi-bin/script?), establish connection
 with the server, and pass
some name/value pairs to it. The question I have (maybe it's too naive) is how
do I convert the URL address to
 IP address so that I can set up TCP/IP connection?
  Function gethostbyname(char *name) seems to be working only for
www.someaddress.com type of thing, and not for .../cgi-bin/script?
  Any help would be appreciated
