Either I don't understand the question (quite possible) or you are mixing
apples and oranges.
The function gethostbyname() can be used to translate a valid host name into
an IP address.
However, there is no requirement that a system that runs an FTP server need
also run an HTTP server. So, in general there is no equivalence be{*filter*} the
names of FTP servers and HTTP servers.
