Perhaps I have some other misconfiguration in my system. With the wget command I must use the --no-proxy option. Otherwise, I get "Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/: Invalid host name." Very strange that port 8080 is assumed when the standard port is 80. I couldn't find an equivalent no-proxy option for hg. Thanks.
