Azure CDN now Supports CORS

So we can finally host fonts in our Azure CDN!!!

This goes for anything else subject to cross-origin resource sharing restrictions.

So update your azure storage client library to (> 3.0) and do something like this:

var client = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var properties = client.GetServiceProperties();

var cors = new CorsRule();
cors.AllowedOrigins.Add("artfulhacker.com");
cors.AllowedMethods = CorsHttpMethods.Get;
cors.MaxAgeInSeconds = 3600;
properties.Cors.CorsRules.Add(cors);            

client.SetServiceProperties(properties);

If you want to allow any parent calling domain use this instead:

cors.AllowedOrigins.Add("*");
