### Description When running my python script (in an AWS fargate container) I get an invalid port error `httpx.InvalidURL: Invalid port: '"https:'` when trying to connect with my cloud cluster. When I run my script locally it works just fine, read and writes with no issue. My cloud url env var is formatted like following, just copied directly from the cloud settings: `WEAVIATE_URL=https://CLUSTER_ID_HERE.c0.us-central1.gcp.weaviate.cloud ` This is how I am creating a client: ```auto WEAVIATE_URL = os.getenv("WEAVIATE_URL", "") WEAVIATE_API_KEY = os.getenv("WEAVIATE_API_KEY", "") client = weaviate.connect_to_weaviate_cloud( cluster_url=WEAVIATE_URL, auth_credentials=Auth.api_key(WEAVIATE_API_KEY), ) ``` I have dropped in print statements to confirm the env var is getting pulled in correctly, which it is. ### Server Setup Information - Weaviate Server Version: - 1.25.10 - Deployment Method: - AWS fargate under ECS and ECR - Multi Node?

SOLVED ✅ So dumb, it was how env vars were being set in AWS. They were set using the Secret Managers default “Key/value” option rather than the “Plaintext” option. 😑 ---
