I need to come up with a way to do Workflow approval tasks from a mobile device when the approver is not on our intranet. I added mailto links for 'Approved' and 'Rejected' to the approval request email. When either is selected, the new email subject has the WorkflowTaskID embedded. I then created a monitoring project to monitor emails sent in via this process that would hit an HTTP Get component to invoke the Workflow's approval task.
What I am running into with the projects published to the server is a (401) Unauthorized error when the HTTP Get component tries to invoke the Workflow approval task. It worked fine in debug but does not when published to the server since the Workflow project has Windows Authentication enabled. I have specified valid credentials in the General tab of the HTTP Get component but it doesn't seem to be attempting to use those.
Does anyone know how I can get around the authentication issue with the HTTP Get component or know of a better way to programmatically invoke the task? We are on Workflow 7.1 SP2 and the workflow project uses a default task source (we don't use Process Manager).
Thanks!
