<p>The new profile has no proxy settings, so the connection is refused:</p>
<code type="erl">

<p>Stop the HTTP client profile:</p>
<code type="erl">
- 10 > inets:stop(httpc, foo).

ok</code>
<p>Alternative way to stop the HTTP client profile:</p>
<code type="erl">
- 10 > inets:stop(httpc, Pid).
+ 13 > inets:stop(httpc, Pid).
ok</code>
