     The purpose of a bibliography, as I understand it, is to alert the
     reader of the article to the sources of information used.  The reader
     is then free to access the information for either their own purposes,
     or in the case of an essay submitted for grading, can check that the
     cited article has not been blatantly copied.  If the URL of a website
     is cited, it does not always guarantee that the reader will be able to
     access the material, as URLs change constantly.  I'm not sure if there
     is an established convention, but if I was using material from the
     internet in an article or essay, I would be more inclined to cite it
     as an appendix and provide the material with the article/essay.  That
     way, the reader can access it readily.
