Javascript

Below is an example of making a HTTP request to VCU TS Healthchecks from Node.js.

var https = require('https');
https.get("https://healthcheck.ts.vcu.edu/ping/your-uuid-here");

You can also send pings from a browser environment. VCU TS Healthchecks sets the Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* CORS header, so cross-domain AJAX requests work.

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://healthcheck.ts.vcu.edu/ping/your-uuid-here', true);
xhr.send(null);
