Posting the error message with the problem description would have helped.

I'd be surprised if it did. Forwarding failures are unlikely
to be solved (or even worked around) by restarting the HTTP
proxy.

Restarting Tor is more likely to work around it,
but of course it's not a real solution either.

With the information provided so far, I see no reason to
blame the circuit or the exit.
