A website has a URL http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=FUNCTIOn_NAME. When I click the URL, it executes the ajax function.
When I put the URL in the address bar, it gives a redirect error because the URL doesn't actually take you anywhere, but it definitely still executes the ajax function.
When I use the command line bash call: firefox -new-window http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=FUNCTIOn_NAME, it opens a empty page except for the line "Bad user...". After some digging I found that the robots.txt file has "Disalow: /wp-admin/". I am assuming this is why it isn't working in the command line. I have used wget -e robots=off URL before, but there isn't anything to download so it doesn't apply here.
What type of URL is this? (I believe it's dynamic or formula, but not sure)
I want to get the same results with the command line as when I plug the URL into the address bar. Ideas?
