Is there a network request for a Sveltekit endpoint during SSR.

Hi,

I have my load function something like for my index.svelte

<script context="module">
    export const prerender = false;
    export async function load({ fetch }) {
        const data = await fetch('/xhr/foo');

        return {
            props: { data }
        };
    }
</script>

load function would run 2 times once on the Server & again on the client. My question is since its a relative url /xhr/foo, its another route defined in Sveltekit under /src/routes/xhr/foo.js.
Would there be an actual network request to itself for this endpoint on Server or Sveltekit is smart enough to not make a network request & execute the endpoint on server ?

Thanks.

Per the docs, when using the fetch provided by SvelteKit:

requests for endpoints go direct to the handler function during server-side rendering, without the overhead of an HTTP call

So the endpoint will be executed on the server without making another HTTP call.
