From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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:ssfrom 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
