.NET equivalent of .htaccess file

Question

I am trying to enable CORS in .NET to get round Firefox policy on cross-domain resources (fontawesome in my case).

I've found this solution for Apache that I want to translate to .NET.

I've tried to follow these guidelines for the translation, but I got stuck.

This is the relevant bit I want to translate from the .htaccess file to my web.config file.

<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|woff)$">
  <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
  </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

Any help much appreciated.

CORS:

• Globally? In web.config:

  <system.webServer>
     <httpProtocol>
       <customHeaders>
         <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
       </customHeaders>
     </httpProtocol>
  </system.webServer>

MIME

Though unsure about your sample above - they're font files? If so, could it just be MIME mapping in IIS (not CORS)?

<system.webServer>
     <staticContent>        
        <mimeMap fileExtension=".ttf" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
        ...
    </staticContent>  
</system.webServer>

Hth...
