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

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:[email protected]"
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
