Returns the WebSocket address of the gateway. The stream is RFB over WebSocket straight to the gateway, authenticated with a `view` or `control` token in the query string. This endpoint only tells you the address; it needs `COMPUTER_GATEWAY_PUBLIC_URL` to be configured.

`GET /v1/computers/{id}/stream`
