Thanks for your help Stainislav!

I decided to go with the route below, sharing code for those that may run across this issue later.

Get notified on certain events via HTTP post:

<!-- Get a CURL post once call starts ringing (media begins) -->
<execute application=\"export\" data=\"nolocal:execute_on_media=curl http://mysite.com/test3.php post event=Ringing&amp;\${uuid}&amp;state=\${state}&direction=\${direction}\"></execute>

<!-- Get a CURL post once leg B answers -->
<execute application=\"export\" data=\"nolocal:execute_on_answer=curl http://mysite.com/test3.php post event=Answered&amp;\${uuid}&amp;state=\${state}&direction=\${direction}\"></execute>

(remove the \ slashes)

I think inbound ESL is what will work for you best.

Lua scripts can be executed within FreeSWITCH process during the call
processing, but they are always synchronous, so your call will wait
until the HTTP request is processed.
