Business Server Page (BSP) error while application call based in IP address

Hello all ABAPers or rather to say BSPers J I just encounter strange error while I invoked my BSP application by URL comprised of IP address instead of usual hostname. I was forced to use IP address because we had an issue with nameserver/ DNS and call of server by its hostname failed. It was even clumsier to me when I realized that my BSP is failing with following error:
Used URL: http://10.126.2.3:8043/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zor_snap/snap.htm?sap-client=003&sap-sessioncmd=open
Error:
Business Server Page (BSP) error
What happened?
Calling the BSP page was terminated due to an error.
 SAP Note
The following error text was processed in the system:
      The URL contains no complete domain specification (10.126.226.34 instead of 10.126.226.34.<domain>.<ext>).
Exception Class CX_FQDN
Error Name      
Program            CX_FQDN=======================CP
Include CX_FQDN=======================CM002
ABAP Class        CX_FQDN
Method CHECK
Line      10
Long text          -
Error type: Exception
Your SAP Business Server Pages Team



















By researching on SMP I realized that this is normal behavior. According following note:  
1403326 - Exception CX_FQDN when starting WD ABAP applications
You can only call BSP only via “hostname based URLs”, like: <domain>.<ext>:<port>
Some more info on topic of URL requirements in SAP are can be found in note:

How to find out Plug-in version?

I already discussed in one of my previous posts topic of BI_CONT, PI_BASIS, ST-PI, PI-A, R3-PLUG-IN. In that post I introduced concept of SAP data extraction and delivering it to SAP BW. Basically it is nothing else as SAP API (SAPI) framework for extraction of data from SAP systems. There is one exception. It is in case of SAP ByDesign (BBD) system. There is is delivered differently. 
SAPI is also referred by term plug-in Plug-In. As already mentioned in post mentioned above (BI_CONT, PI_BASIS, ST-PI, PI-A, R3-PLUG-IN see some differences?) in year 2005 SAP spitted PlugIn component into 2 parts: 
·         PlugIn – data sources
·         PlugIn Basis"(PI_BASIS) – contains SAPI framework
Later on as of SAP Basis version 7.00 data sources were moved to SAP application specific
Finally I’m coming into the topic how to find out version of your PlugIn Basis component? I was able to realize 2 ways so far:
1.    Running FM BWSAPI_GET_VERSION in TA SE37:
