azure cors nancy

I have an API service made with NancyFX, and a couple of front-end developers creating an SPA JS client against this API.

We would like to test the client side code against the published server without having to publish the client code with too much frequency.

But, the client runs at localhost, and the server is at Windows Azure.

Is it possible and easy to enable CORS on the NancyFX server? How can I do that?

Thanks.

Its possible to do this in the bootstraper of Nancy

protected override void RequestStartup(TinyIoCContainer container, IPipelines pipelines, NancyContext context)
    {

       //CORS Enable
        pipelines.AfterRequest.AddItemToEndOfPipeline((ctx) =>
        {
            ctx.Response.WithHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
                            .WithHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST,GET")
                            .WithHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Accept, Origin, Content-type");

        });
