        alert(this.readyState);
    }
};
request.open('GET', 'my_ip_addr:8080', true);
request.setRequestHeader('exec "myFile.exe"', 'asd');

Look at your JavaScript error console:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'setRequestHeader' on 'XMLHttpRequest': 'exec "myFile.exe"' is not a valid HTTP header field name.

You probably want something more like:

// Use X- prefixes for non-standard headers
request.setRequestHeader('X-exec', "myFile.exe");
