example in README.md doesn't work with rust-toolchain.toml file

[woss]

Following the example that is given in the README.md

# shell.nix
let
  moz_overlay = import (builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/archive/master.tar.gz);
  nixpkgs = import <nixpkgs> { overlays = [ moz_overlay ]; };
in
  with nixpkgs;
  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "moz_overlay_shell";
    buildInputs = [
      # to use the latest nightly:
      #nixpkgs.latest.rustChannels.nightly.rust
      # to use a specific nighly:
      # (nixpkgs.rustChannelOf { date = "2018-04-11"; channel = "nightly"; }).rust
      # to use the project's rust-toolchain file:
      (nixpkgs.rustChannelOf { rustToolchain = ./rust-toolchain.toml; }).rust
    ];
  }

and my rust-toolchain.toml

[toolchain]
channel = "nightly-2022-02-23"
components = ["rustfmt", "rustc-dev", "rust-std", "rust-analysis", "rust-src"]
targets = ["wasm32-unknown-unknown", "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"]
profile = "default"

fails when I change the rust-toolchain to rust-toolchain.toml with the following error:

❯ nix-shell --pure  shell.nix
error: unable to download 'https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-nightly-2022-02-23.toml': HTTP error 404 ('')
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

Then I run it with the show-trace

❯ nix-shell --pure --show-trace shell.nix
error: unable to download 'https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-nightly-2022-02-23.toml': HTTP error 404 ('')

I am not well versed in the nix lang so I cannot even debug this. i found this #281 and thought it should work without any issues, but it seems it doesn't for me.

Is there something I am doing wrong or this is a bug? thx

I happen to get the same problem unfortunately
