At the moment you send() it should try to XHR at least blocked until the
end of the send() execution, then will async until a result from the server.

You could prob use a .htaccess rule for immediately returning (perhaps an
empty string) and setting any pertinent info (cache, cookies, etc.) without
having a physical file.

On the other hand I've seen Google Analytics use blank.gif for all their
processing needs. They just pass state information as part of the request
blank.gif?ua=trident&....
