-q option not totally quiet

[Ross Boulet]

I recently updated my Arch Linux system and part of the update was wget 1.25 
(previous was 1.24). I have a cronjob that uses wget to retrieve a web page 
with a -q option. As an example, I'll use gnu.org.

Old behavior:

$ wget -q www.gnu.org

<no output>

New behavior:

$ wget -q www,gnu.org

Prepended http:// to www,gnu.org <written to stderr>

The -q option will suppress messages even if the URL is invalid. It seems like 
an informational message of "Prepending http:// ..." should also be suppressed 
by -q

The -o option does not suppress the message either.
