How to make a GET request for Cloudant from Erlang via HTTPS

I'm already fooling this topic a bit ... I can receive and send to couchdb on my local computer, but now I want to switch to using Cloudant, which requires an https connection.

I want to understand what is happening, so I would prefer to use httpc or similar at the moment, rather than, say, couchbeam, but I just can’t get into the Erlang documentation on SSL connections, and all the examples are simpler HTTP ... Cloudant There is no documentation related to Erlang.

I looked at the topic How to make an HTTPS request with Erlang , but the above example does not work for me - I get the following error report:

and the Erlang shell is hanging ...

Here is the code I entered in the Erlang shell:
