guix with guile-next

If I do

$ guix environment --ad-hoc guix guile
$ guile
> (use-modules (guix http-client))

it's ok.

If I do

$ guix environment --ad-hoc guix guile-next ;; <-- note the "-next"
$ guile
> (use-modules (guix http-client))

Then there is no code for module http-client

Is there any hope that I can load some guix modules from within a
guile-next prompt ?

I'm asking this because I am exploring Culturia and that requires
guile-next.
I'd like to use the guix http-client and the Culturia machinery together

This is because Guix is built with Guile 2.0, not Guile 2.1.  You need
to make a variant of the guix package that uses guile-next.

IIRC guix on guile-next is in the work, in the mean time you can use
the http.scm module from culturia [0] which relies on curl command line.
There is even a chime for http-get which works with https.

Be aware that I've hit some issues with that procedure, I'm not sure
but I think under some condition it leaks memory...

Don't hesitate to ask if you hit issues.

HTH,
