Why can't we get pathName in server component ?

[anhVuducTimego]

Summary

HI, I just want to highlight a menu link in a server component by compare pathname with href property in link, but look like there is no way to get pathname on server.
I must use client component to get pathname.
I just wonder, Why create a client component for something small?

just use headers from next:

import { headers } from "next/headers";

const header = headers();
const pathname = header.get('next-url')
console.log('pathName:', pathname);

[levchenkod]

This probably should not be marked as an answer, as usage of next-url is not recommended

See #57762 (comment)

But using header breaks the static build and it changes to dynamic..
