How do I add Access-Control-Allow-Origin in NGINX?

Question

I like NGINX but how do I set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header so I can use web-fonts from my subdomain on my main domain?

ah finally found the answer location / { add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"; }

Nginx has to be compiled with http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpHeadersModule. Then you can do this

location ~* \.(eot|ttf|woff)$ {
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
}
