Error while using lhttpc from erlang shell

问题

When I run following in erlang shell

lhttpc:request("http://www.google.co.uk", get, [], infinity).

I get this error

** exception exit: {noproc,{gen_server,call,
                                   [lhttpc_manager,
                                    {socket,<0.44.0>,"www.google.co.uk",80,false},
                                    infinity]}}

I'm a completely new to erlang and only thing I understand from the above is that some gen_server module has exited with some error. How do I fix this error?

回答1:

I found the answer on the erlang channel of freenode. I need to run following commands before issuing any requests

ssl:start().
lhttpc:start().
