[asterisk-users] getting call status using Manager API

[mitcheloc]

Matthew,

If you hold open the connection to the manager api after initiating
your call you should see packets returning from Asterisk which you can
parse to get the call state.

I'm not sure if there is a way to do it later after the fact. You can
execute commands like "Show Channels" through manager though.
