Libcurl expects that a user (i.e. a programme linking with libcurl) sets the certificate bundle. This happens in different ways in different applications. Libcurl purposefully ignores the usual environment variables, because those are meant for the =E2=80=9Ccurl=E2=80=9D command line tool only. There also is no bug report in the bug tracker. Instead of demanding an answer to why this hasn=E2=80=99t =E2=80=9Csimply=E2=80=9D been fixed, I en= courage you to (re-)read the previous discussions about this: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-01/msg00516.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-02/msg00245.html -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
