I can't imagine how can you check for open port/URL without
javascript, can you give reference or explanation? You can make
request, but without javascript you can't read the result.

If the attacker controls the destination, they can simply record
whether the connection is successfully established at the remote
end. While this may not tell them much about what specific hosts the
victim has access to reach, it can easily leak general egress
filtering information.
