[erlang-bugs] httpc memory leak with stand_alone profile and persistent HTTP connections.

[Anthony Ramine]

From what I gather from the documentation, stand alone clients aren’t supposed to be registered.

Shouldn’t instead httpc_handler's #state.profile_name be renamed to #state.manager and store either the process name or the pid? Or even maybe just the pid? What is supposed to happen if the manager dies? Are the handlers supposed to live on?
