redis-py Cannot connect using the Redis URL, but can connect by specifying hostname.

Version: 5.1.0.

Platform: python:3.10-slim Docker image.

Description: I can connect if I manually specify the hostname:

        self.redis = aioredis.Redis(
  	       host='my-upstash-subdomain.upstash.io',
  	       port=6379,
  	       password='****',
  	       ssl=True,
           decode_responses=False
        )

But I get a connection error if I do the following:

from redis import asyncio as aioredis
self.redis = aioredis.from_url("redis://****@my-upstash-subdomain.upstash.io:6379", decode_responses=False)

You've set ssl to true, have you tried with rediss:// scheme ?

Hi @vedantroy,

@jules-ch is right. You can find further details here:

Does this solve your problem? Can we close this issue?
