Pronunciation of web addresses

[Richard Robin]

In casual Russian, the "www" of web addresses is read as [ve-ve-ve]. Does
anyone know how Russians distinguish "w" from "f" in an address such as
"www.f-prot.ru"? I find it hard to believe that the name for "f" would be taken
from German! BTW, I have heard "w" said as "double-u" as well. Any
authoritative information would be appreciated.
