Preflight Options check options in Azure?

I'm building a simple ServiceStack app and intending to host it on AzureWebSites. That's working fine. I need CORS to make the app work. In IIS Express, this works fine - but not on Azure or AppHarbor.

The actual GET and POST requests work fine, the problem is the pre-flight OPTIONS checks return an empty response; no headers, nothing.

The code is on GitHub. You can see in the git commit history some things I've tried:

When I test the site locally, the result looks right. Here's the local result:

curl -H "Origin: http://www.example.com" -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: P
OST" -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: X-Requested-With" -X OPTIONS --verbose

When I run the test against AzureWebSites (and AppHarbor) it does not.

curl -H "Origin: http://www.example.com" -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: P
OST" -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: X-Requested-With" -X OPTIONS --verbose

Here's AppHarbor:

curl -H "Origin: http://www.example.com" -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: P
OST" -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: X-Requested-With" -X OPTIONS --verbose
