title: wget: unable to resolve host address `http'
body: <p>I am getting this strange thing on my Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit machine when I do a <code>wget</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ wget google.com
  
  --2014-07-18 14:44:32--  http://google.com/
  
  Resolving http (http)... failed: Name or service not known.
  
  wget: unable to resolve host address `http'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have encountered this problem earlier when I got it for any web pages (and not http), which required me to add my nameserver to <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However, here that doesn't seem to be the problem, instead it is recognizing <code>http</code> as something different. Any advise?</p>
