I'm seeing in Kibana 8.12.2 that the `prefix_path` is being dropped by Dev Tools Console commands.  
i.e. the "/kibana" in the example below.

kibana.yml

```auto
elasticsearch.hosts: "server.mydomain.com:443/kibana

```

In Dev Tools Console:

**v7.17.15 (correct)**  
`GET _cluster/health` produces `GET /kibana/_cluster/health?pretty=true`

**v8.12.2 (incorrect)**  
`GET _cluster/health` produces `GET /_cluster/health?pretty=true`

I am obviously running kibana behind a proxy. All other apps in Kibana appear to be working fine, only Dev Tools Console seems to have an issue so far.

I've tried every combination in the kibana.yml file of:

```auto
server.publicBaseUrl: "https://server.mydomain.com/kibana"
server.basePath: /kibana
server.rewriteBasePath: false

```

Workaround: For my use case, I am able to update the root route in my proxy and direct the traffic to the /kibana endpoint. (but I don't think we should have to do this.)

It would be worth filing a bug in the Kibana Github repo. See [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)

Will do - just wanted to confirm it was an issue before creating a "bug". Thanks.
