Think is requred streaming feature of freeswitch.
Look at mod_esf
<https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_esf> and mod_vlc
<https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_vlc>
Instruction to compile mod_vlc on provided link is to old but helpfull to
undestand how to stream media to http server.

For compiling mod_vlc please use vlc repo
<https://freeswitch.org/stash/projects/SD/repos/vlc/browse> and centos
instruction
<https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Creating+RPM+repositary>
.
After you intall vlc, then you can enable mod_vlc module in freeswitch
sources(SPEC file) and compile freeswitch.
