From what I checked the jQuery unload is just a wrapper for the native function. I could be wrong as I didn't dug that deep.

This example worked for me.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(window).unload( function (){
        alert('preget');
        $.get(
            '/some.php',
            { request: 'some' }
        );
        alert('postget');
    });
});

Remember that some browsers block the window.open requests on unload, IE for example.
