cdn azure-storage cors azure-storage-blobs azure-cdn

I cannot get azure blob storage hosted fonts exposed via azure cdn working in IE or Firefox.

I believe this is because of @font-face cross-domain issues (CORS) and the normal solution is to add an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. I know that most CDNs now support this but am assuming that Azure still doesn't. Can anyone confirm this?

If this is the case, are there any workarounds?

This is no longer true, azure supports CORS
