How does no nojsstats.appspot.com work?

Question

I'm curious about: http://nojsstats.appspot.com

This service is meant for google-analytics users that want to track their pageviews and others things even if javascript is disabled. I wonder how this service works and how it can determine the necessary data without javascript? I mean what is happening when I HTTP-GET to the site:

Example (HTML code):

<img src="http://nojsstats.appspot.com/UA-123456/mywebsite.com" />
