There are some ways to achieve that.

The easiest, but certainly a "hack": 

<!-- HTML images: -->
<img src="http://example.com/counter.cgi" width="1" height="1" />

[download]

Or you can use a XMLHttpRequest to trigger the CGI script.

If you use flash anyway, you can flash do the work for you, requesting an URL without updating the browser window.

As a side node, this looks like a XY Problem to me, like you are trying to count visitors or hits on your page. There are far better approaches to do that, for example parsing the server log files. Or installing a custom log handler.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
