This seems to be a good answer. However, please add some details, one-sentence answers are not well-received here.

<p>first if your url is not on a mining server your not going to be able to mine (and probabalistically there may be a way but anyway). it would look closer to -o stratum+tcp://emc2.suprnova.cc:3366 and the 127.0.0.1 should be an API address not the url.
second, for everyone who is looking for help with BFGMINER if you do not:
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1</p>

<p>then it probabalistically will not work as well. The export commands sync bfgminer immediatly to my gpu: ASUS GTX 1080 and starts hashing around 900 k/hs.</p>

The error messages you see are exactly what you get if you just start bitcoind without any proper configuration.

Did you make sure

* you started your bitcoind with the -server flag at all? Only that will prepare your bitcoin node to allow connections from external workers such as bfgminer.
* you waited for it to sync with the network? That can take up to some
  hours
