closes #11078

When having a custom base path:

{
  kit: {
  	paths: {
  		base: '/ui'
  	}
  }
}

And making a request to a different server hosted on the same domain, +layout.server.ts:

export const load: LayoutServerLoad = async ({ fetch }) => {
  const workingResponse = await fetch('/ui/api'); // works if api is defined in sveltekit
  const failingResponse = await fetch('/profile'); // returns 404, instead of making request and providing cookies
}

Making a request to the same origin but to a different server not with the configured paths.base, currently doesn't work but this should be allowed and possible as they share the same domain name.


Please don't delete this checklist! Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following:

  • It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
  • This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
  • Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.

Tests

  • Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint and pnpm check

Changesets

  • If your PR makes a change that should be noted in one or more packages' changelogs, generate a changeset by running pnpm changeset and following the prompts. Changesets that add features should be minor and those that fix bugs should be patch. Please prefix changeset messages with feat:, fix:, or chore:.

Edits

  • Please ensure that 'Allow edits from maintainers' is checked. PRs without this option may be closed.

I don't think this is the correct fix.
The request shouldn't even be handled by the respond function.
It must be fixed somewhere in the fetch function in src/runtime/server/fetch.js

Maybe changing

if (url.origin !== event.url.origin) {
to something like

if (url.origin !== event.url.origin || (paths.base && !decodeURIComponent(url.pathname).startsWith(paths.base))) {

Hi @PatrickG, apologies for the quick fix attempt, I lack knowledge in sveltekit codebase but tried to file the fix.

Your suggestion makes sense, I've applied it and it seems to work locally.

Cheers!

# Releases
## @sveltejs/adapter-netlify@6.0.0

### Major Changes

- breaking: `platform.context` is now the [modern Netlify Functions
(\[#15203\](#15203))

context](https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/api/#netlify-specific-context-object)

    Previously, this was the [AWS Lambda-style

context](https://github.com/netlify/primitives/blob/c1ae30f2745f0a73e26e83334695e205a04ab47d/packages/functions/prod/src/function/handler_context.ts).

If you were using this in your app (unlikely), you will need to update
your code to read from new fields.

### Minor Changes

- feat: Migrate to the modern Netlify Functions API
([#15203](#15203))

The Netlify adapter now generates "v2" Netlify Functions, which uses
modern standards (ESM, `Request`, `Response`) instead of the legacy
"Lambda-compatible" or "v1" format. Under the hood, this greatly
simplifies the adapter code and improves maintainability.

For more details on features this unlocks for your SvelteKit app, see

<https://developers.netlify.com/guides/migrating-to-the-modern-netlify-functions/>.

- feat: allow configuring redirects in `netlify.toml`
([#15203](#15203))

The limitation of only being able to configure redirects via the
`_redirects` file has been removed.

### Patch Changes

- fix: populate `App.Platform` with `context` property
([#15203](#15203))

- Updated dependencies

## @sveltejs/kit@2.51.0

### Minor Changes

- feat: add `scroll` property to `NavigationTarget` in navigation
callbacks ([#15248](#15248))

Navigation callbacks (`beforeNavigate`, `onNavigate`, and
`afterNavigate`) now include scroll position information via the
`scroll` property on `from` and `to` targets:

- `from.scroll`: The scroll position at the moment navigation was
triggered
- `to.scroll`: In `beforeNavigate` and `onNavigate`, this is populated
for `popstate` navigations (back/forward) with the scroll position that
will be restored, and `null` for other navigation types. In
`afterNavigate`, this is always the final scroll position after
navigation completed.

This enables use cases like animating transitions based on the target
scroll position when using browser back/forward navigation.

- feat: `hydratable`'s injected script now works with CSP
([#15048](#15048))

### Patch Changes

- fix: put preloads before styles
([#15232](#15232))


- fix: suppress false-positive inner content warning when children prop
is forwarded to a child component
([#15269](#15269))


- fix: `fetch` not working when URL is same host but different than
`paths.base` ([#15291](#15291))


- fix: navigate to hash link when base element is present
([#15236](#15236))


- fix: avoid triggering `handleError` when redirecting in a remote
function ([#15222](#15222))


- fix: include `test` directory in generated `tsconfig.json` alongside
existing `tests` entry
([#15254](#15254))


- fix: generate `tsconfig.json` using the value of `kit.files.src`
([#15253](#15253))

## @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare@7.2.7

### Patch Changes

- fix: error if `_routes.json` is in the `/static` public directory
([#12821](#12821))
