When I try to install the Spotify Flatpak, I get this SSL error

[passthejoe]

When I try to update or install the Spotify Flatpak, I get the following error (and no update or installation):

       ID                     Branch    Op    Remote     Download
 1. [✗] com.spotify.Client     stable    i     flathub    1.0 kB / 193.9 MB

error: Failed to install com.spotify.Client: While downloading https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/pOBIoZ2LrCB3rDohMxoYGnbN14EHOgD7_95.snap: While fetching https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/pOBIoZ2LrCB3rDohMxoYGnbN14EHOgD7_95.snap: [35] SSL connect error

I thought unistalling and reinstalling might help, but it did not.

My system is Bluefin.

does it work when you open this link in browser?

I'm seeing the same error, and the link does download when I use the browser.

That's a bit vague and maybe not something straightforward, I'd probably blame their server however it does work for me 🤷

One thing for sure is there isn't much we can do about it here.

I get ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

I had the same issue, seems like it was the IPv6 connection to the server taking to long and timing out before it could fall back to IPv4. I just went into my internet settings and disabled IPv6 and tried the download again, which worked.

This worked. Thank you for the fix.

I haven't seen this error for months, and I don't have IPv6 (and didn't have it when I saw the error). I would suspect two different causes but with the same symtoms.
