Is there a vulnerability if users are allowed to call any URL from your hosted website?

I am developing a website in which one functionality allows users to give any URL which will be then converted into ajax request and called. This can happen through GET or POST methods but only through client side javascript. The URL will be requested from the client side only.
What issues can arise because of this? What are some ways in which this can be seen as a vulnerability for the web application?
An example Javascript function for what I am trying to do :
function sendPostRequest(url, callback)
{
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : url,
success: callback
});
}
Here url is got from user input.
