(_AJAX_, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a misnomer.  In this case, it 
does not have to be asynchronous, it does not have to be JavaScript, and it 
does not have to be XML; the request can be handled synchronously, the 
programming language can be JScript, for example, and the data format to be 
used should be JSON, if any.

is insufficient a term/hint.  The proper term and more helpful hint is 
_XMLHttpRequest_ or _XMLHTTPRequest_, commonly abbreviated XHR.

He needs (the client) to make an _HTTP request_, and can do that with XHR, 
*for example*.

He should stop abusing domains, too, see <http://example.com/>.
