Use SVG in Windows Azure Websites

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to add the SVG mime type to a Windows Azure Website? I tried with a web.config file but that only broke my website.

Is this a limitation of the current preview or am I missing something?

thanks for your help!

What you can do in Windows Azure Websites (on web.config level) is pretty limited, but you should be allowed to add the mime type under staticContent:

<configuration>
   <system.webServer>
      <staticContent>
         <remove fileExtension=".svg"/>
         <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
      </staticContent>
   </system.webServer>
</configuration>
