And with that I don't mean AJAX, since this will be done from the server side right? I mean that the URL would be visited from the client's PC.

So step by step it would be something like this :

  1. Client visits my site
  2. My site orders the Client's PC to visit a URL
  3. The client's PC visits this URL (perhaps doing this in the background)
  4. The Client's PC sends the response it gets from this URL back to my server

I am also curious if there is a name for this kind of task. With that name I would be able to google this myself as well.

No.

Doing this client-side with JavaScript and Ajax is as close as you are likely to get (and this will probably be blocked by the Same Origin Policy).

  • Would this also be blocked if the URL is a local IP? (I need this to acces my own router) – Tafel Jan 05 '18 at 11:04
