You'll want to learn about sending a message to the background page,
and triggering an ajax call. Either you can use jQuery, prototype, or
grab the GET method out my own Gen.js library: https://github.com/devinrhode2/Gen.js

Usage is documented right next to the methods, feel free to chop up
that code however you want, and even just use the raw inside of the
function.

You'll want to do this ajax call in the background page of course.

You may easily get the current tab by default depending on the chrome
method you use, otherwise there is a method in the docs you can use
from the background page.

Since chrome 13 content scripts can use cross-origin XHR [1]. The only
thing the poster must learn are XHRs [2]. There is no need to use a
background page or whatever library.
