When I'm making a fetch in a server component with routes, cookies() returns an empty array. But on a client component, it returns the cookies. Idk if it's like a timing issue because the fetch is very early since it's in a server component.



export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
  try {
    const { endpoint, options } = await request.json();
    console.log("Request endpoint:", endpoint);
    console.log("Request options:", options);

    const cookieStore = cookies();
    console.log("Cookie store:", cookieStore.getAll());

that's not the relevant part. this is the relevant part:

do not fetch your own API routes or route handlers (from now on, just "route handlers") in server components, instead just call the server-side logic directly

This is the relevant part I saw:

The fetch does not have access to headers and cookies automatically. You need to manually extract the relevant informations with headers and cookies and pass them to the fetch call.


In my case, it already exists. I'm not capturing it from a response.
does this mean there's no way to achieve this?
