Title: Sitemap accessible in browser but not fetched by Google Search Console

Description:

I have deployed my website using Next.js and the sitemap is successfully generated and accessible via the browser at:

👉 https://stack-dhruv.vercel.app/sitemap.xml

However, when I submit this URL in Google Search Console, it fails to fetch the sitemap. The console throws a fetch error, even though the file is clearly accessible.

Expected behavior:

Google Search Console should be able to access and parse the sitemap.

Steps to reproduce:

1.	Deploy site using Next.js and dynamic sitemap generation.
2.	Access the sitemap via browser — works correctly.
3.	Submit sitemap URL to Google Search Console — fetch fails.

Environment:

•	Framework: Next.js
•	Hosting: Vercel

Additional context:

This could be related to headers, caching, or how the sitemap is generated (e.g., getServerSideProps or custom server). Any guidance or fix would be appreciated.
