Spotify behind a HTTPS Proxy
When you use Spotify connected by a https proxy, it seems Spotify does not like this kind of connection, as the following is broken:
- Browse (only the loading gif shows here)
- Discover (no images shown)
- Artist overview page (no images in album list)
- Who to follow: No images
- App finder: No images
- Apps won’t work
Client on OSX
Solution
Just edit your prefs file, where the Spotify stores your preferences settings. You probabily see something like that:
network.proxy.addr="127.0.0.1:3128@https" network.proxy.mode=2
Just remove “s” from protocol on line network.proxy.addr and save, just that!
The pref file location varies depending what OS you use:
*** OSX *** /Users/<current user>/Library/Application Support/Spotify/prefs
*** Linux *** ~/.config/spotify/prefs
*** Windows *** C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\prefs
