Calling a function in Magento Admin Module Controller via URL

I was under the impression (after viewing some tutorials on Alan Storms site about Models) that I should be able to call a function on my controller via a url like so:

http://www.localhost.com:8080/magento/index.php/mymodule/adminhtml_mymodule/someFunction

and in the controller declare:

public function someFunctionAction()
{
    Mage::log("Im In");
}

The problem is that nothing is being logged. Is there something special with admin modules that prevents this from working?

Note: I haven't included the rest of my code for declaring the module as everything is working fine, I am merely curious about calling the controller function via the Url in this way but please let me know if you require more information in order to answer it properly.

Try this, if your controller name is poductController than in URL use product 

http://www.localhost.com:8080/magento/index.php/mymodule/product/someFunction

You can't call your action with the direct URL, because Magento uses nonces in the admin section. You can read about this here: http://alanstorm.com/magento_admin_hello_world_revisited , look for the "Magento Admin URLs"-section.
