Is it possible it ONLY JavaScript to hit a specified URL and get a reply as to whether it was possible to hit the URL. I do not need the URL content, and any information of the page, all i need is conformation that the URL was reached and it penetrated all custom firewalls that would site in its way.

No. You would hit the Same Origin Policy wall.
You really need to do it in the server side. In the JS side, you can then test it by a simple ajax to the server side which returns some boolean. Note that this only tests the connection between the server and the desired URL, not between the client and the desired URL. Not sure if that may form a potential problem for your functional requirement.
