“AJAX” is as much a thing of the past as is CGI.  Moreover, without a 
subsequent request.send(null), nothing considerable will happen.

If it is a text message, then

  fetch('…?msg=' + encodeURIComponent('screenwidth=1200'));

Otherwise,

  fetch('…?screenwidth=1200');

If PATH_INFO support is enabled,

  fetch('…/screenwidth=1200');

can work, too.

In general, if there are no backwards compatibility considerations,
the Fetch API is the way to go.
