repository.spotify.com dns ssl cert is for cloudfront.net... fail!

repository.spotify.com dns ssl cert is for cloudfront.net... fail!

All use of the linux client for debian/ubuntu using the posted instructions fail as recent updates on the server failed to include the correct ssl certificate for repository.spotify.com.   Instead, the provided certificate is from Amazon, cloudfront.net.  As a result, the client doesn't update as Debian / Ubuntu won't trust sites that provide mismatched security.   Or -- there is an active spoof in place and some bad guy has taken over an amazon account and is sending malware on the back of a spotify client.  Either way--- not good and should be fixed!

 

Check it yourself:   Go visit such as https://www.digicert.com/help/  put in repository.spotify.com and see...
