I'd like to know how can I make the little web page icon on the left from the title "running" when I do, for example, a getJSON() to my external server to warn the user that his/her request is being treated.
Is there a way to control it?

Do you mean you want an AJAX progress animation? Maybe take a look at http://ajaxload.info/ – Greg B May 14 '12 at 08:53

Put a favicon link on the header of your page, e.g.
<link id="favicon" rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="/base-favicon.gif" />
when an ajax call starts, just change the href attribute of your favicon. Prepare an animated gif, then make a substitution with
document.getElementById('favicon').href = "/animated-favicon.gif";
when your ajax call has been executed (success or error) just restore the previous favicon
