A URL doesn't need a domain name, something like http://127.0.0.1/test.php is a valid url and all scraper should work with this correctly.

This requires the website to respond on requests to the ip-based url. Those on private servers or very big sites might do, sites from ordinary shared hosters usually don't as they host multiple sites with the same ip.
