Important You should replace your-store-account-name with the accountName of your store. Who would guess, huh?

Nice! Live Reload has reloaded that stylesheet for you.

FAQ

What is ECONNRESET?

The HTTP response socket hung up before sending a complete reply.
You probably manually stopped a request on your browser.
Thus, the proxy shouted: "I was receiving a response and it stopped abruptly!"
