This function parses the input URL to get the hostname (or an IP),
then the hostname is further resolved to its IP address.
Parameters
----------
url : str
An URL string, which generally has the following format:
``scheme://netloc/path;parameters?query#fragment``
while the ``netloc`` may look like ``user:pass@example.com:port``
Returns
-------
ip : str
An IPv4 address string.
If something wrong happens (e.g., ``gaierror``), then ``None``
is returned.

Get the local IP address of this machine where this script runs.
A dummy socket will be created and connects to the given host, then

The host to which will be connected by a dummy socket, in order
to determine the valid IP address.
timeout : float
Timeout (in seconds) on the blocking socket operations (e.g.,
``connect()``)
