Answer 1

when you are using hosting a meilisearch instance on your cloud , and if you are trying to connect , to the instance , sometimes it gives error as auth header missing , even when auth header is being provided .

This error is only caused when you are not providing the full host address , i.e if you are using host address without https:// , it will throw that error ,so make sure to include it .
