Edit: I’ve got a mini computer that could wake up the big one.

    I don’t think if you can wake with an http request but after either a bios/kernel setting you can do wol mac:add:re:ss from a different computer.

    The key restrictions here is not every hardware supports wake-on-lan, and one computer must be configured to “wake” the other.

      That could be a very interesting feature for a reverse proxy to have, wake-on-lan-on-demand, I guess it could show the server’s ping status with a “please wait server is starting” image and a countdown to the next retry / how long it usually takes to wake up.

      I found something similar called WOL proxy
