The hostname selects the target branch, region, and endpoint type (the `-rw`/`-ro` suffix, see `EndpointType`), and must match the request host. Obtain it from the Xata dashboard or the control-plane API. This is the only credential the gateway accepts; the control-plane API key (Bearer token) is rejected here. For the WebSocket endpoint (`GET /v2`) the same connection string is conveyed via the PostgreSQL startup message instead of this header.
