title: Calling an url from a trigger in mysql
body: <p>I know it's highly unrecommended,</p>
  
  <p>I know that it's an issue with performance, speed, etc,
  but it's for an integration, and they only are doing their updates via mysql (I know it's crazy to do that too but I can't change what they do, and they are making a ton of sales so they don't want to change anything).</p>
  
  <p>I only need to post to a URL (it can be as simple as <a href="http://www.google.com?id=skuid" rel="noreferrer">http://www.google.com?id=skuid</a>)</p>
  
  <p>I read this blogs and stacks, but they are 2+ years old, would like to know if there are alternatives to using an udf:</p>
