Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst/issues/20

Hello, I have tried using psst but I am unable to connect to Spotify. I believe this is because Spotify now has even stricter region requirements. I tried using proxychains4, but it doesn't seem to work properly with this application. The main Spotify client has an option to select a SOCKS5/SOCKS4/HTTP proxy. Are there any plans to add this to psst as well?

We could do this, yeah! As we're also using a TCP session to talk to Spotify, SOCKS would be needed, right?

Yea I think so. I personally use my VPS + ssh SOCKS5 to get around the region restrictions

I've looked into this a bit and while HTTP proxy would be possible to use as well, SOCKS5 would be easiest to implement. I'll get to it through the next week.

I have a SOCKS5 support implemented for the TCP session and the CDN connections, but the Spotify WebAPI would need a small PR for aspotify, so it will take a couple more days, but it's close.

Hah, sorry, that took longer then expected :) I've completely removed aspotify and we do our own thing now. If you're still interested and feel adventurous, try latest master. I haven't tested it yet, but setting SOCKS_PROXY env var to smth. like socks5://john:smith@socks.google.com should work. In the future, we could add it to the Preferences dialog.

This issue should be reopened since support for HTTP proxy is not present. I had a look to ureq, it seems that it won't be implemented from now on, see https://github.com/algesten/ureq/issues/62. What were the reasons behind the choice of ureq? It looks like https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest for example has many more features (including http_proxy support) and is better supported.

reqwest is an async client, we need only sync interface. And if I'm not mistaken, ureq does support HTTP proxies. The reason only SOCKS is supported in Psst is that we're connecting to a TCP session, and tunelling that through HTTP CONNECT is slightly more work. PRs welcome!

HTTP proxy support would be great!
