Azure Data Studio - PostgreSQL error: Unhandled exception while executing query: 'dict' object has no attribute 'encode'

I started using Azure Data Studio a few weeks ago to talk to PostgreSQL and I must say that I do like it, especially when comparing it to PGAdmin. I had a few issues where I lost my connection, but a refresh always solved it so far.

Yesterday I stumbled over an error when trying to execute the following query:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost
