Links to static assets do not work

Describe the bug

When creating a link to a static asset, clicking the link triggers a 404 instead of opening the asset.

Logs

The issue doesn’t log anything.

To Reproduce

In the default sveltekit app:

• Create a file in static/hello.txt with the contents hello world
• In src/index.svelte, add the following link: <a href="/hello.txt">xxx</a>

run npm run dev, then, from your browser, click the link

Expected behavior

The text file is loaded

Actual behavior A 404 error

Yes, it is a duplicate. But let me just point out that this isn’t solved by the patch (not)tobi mentions - that solves the case if you have app base /foo/bar and navigate to /

Oh, yes, I did not find that original issue. Sorry.
