[thelist] OnLoad Event to touch file on server

I'm trying to work with a customer who (I believe) has a proxy that is 
seriously affecting page load times.   I could timestamp the page load 
time if I had an OnLoad JavaScript that would just touch an ASP file 
back on my server.  If anyone has just a JavaScript, please help me out.

Another approach may be easier to code it without JavaScript, using HTML 
only -- like this...

<img src="mytimestamp.asp" height="1" width="1">
</body>
</html>

But:

 - this will introduce a 1 pixel layout element.  (Is there some other 
way to do this without using <img> ?)

 - It is not guaranteed to load after all the other page elements (I 
think the OnLoad event waits for every element to load?)

Any thoughts?  JavaScripts?  Elements other that <img>?  Better approaches?

Sam
