[http] wget: unable to resolve host address `http'

I figured out what went wrong. In the proxy configuration of my box, an extra http:// got prefixed to "proxy server with http".

Example..

http://http://proxy.mycollege.com

and that has created problems. Corrected that, and it works perfectly.

Thanks @WhiteCoffee and @ChrisBint for your suggestions!
