See the description of http_proxy in doc/hgrc.5.txt.

http_proxy::
  Used to access web-based Mercurial repositories through a HTTP
  proxy.
  host;;
    Host name and (optional) port of the proxy server, for example
    "myproxy:8000".
  no;;
    Optional.  Comma-separated list of host names that should bypass
    the proxy.
  passwd;;
    Optional.  Password to authenticate with at the proxy server.
  user;;
    Optional.  User name to authenticate with at the proxy server.

Here's an example few lines from a hgrc:

[http_proxy]
host = http://localhost:8000/

There's always the possibility that this is failing because selenic.com
is a bit wonky, but because of anything on your end.
