Does not steam://connect/... work correctly in Civilization V multiplayer?

I'm creating a web portal for Civilization V/BE/VI multiplayer users. It has a chat system and I tried to implement a function by which people can create a server / join the server from the chat page. (Sorry but it is still alpha version and exclusive in my country currently. I will announce the global version if it works well. :) )

Then, I have managed to detect the IP of the host (e.g. 127.0.0.1) and call the protocol (steam://connect/127.0.0.1:27015), but the dialog just shows "server is not responding". Since I can connect to the server via the multiplayer lobby or friend list, it seem to be a problem on the steam or Civ5 client side.

Does anyone have experienced similar issue, or have a good suggestion to solve the problem?
