I have done this by simple CGI program that creates call file.
I put asterisk and HTTP server (apache) on the same machine.
In CGI program I also do some number normalization, so if user
sends me "+48 91 123 45 67" I remove spaces and other special
chars and add "Zap/g1/" prefix.

Be aware of file permissions and do not create call file "on place",
but rather create it in tmp directory and than move it to final spool 
directory.
