I'm trying to implement cors support in my Web API.
I have read a couple of blog posts on this topic, but I can't seem to find System.Web.Cors.dll or System.Web.Http.Cors.dll
Is there something I need to install?

This class defines an attribute that can be applied to an action or a controller to enable CORS. By default, it allows all origins, methods and headers. Namespace: System.Web.Http.Cors.
CORS is a W3C standard that allows you to get away from the same origin policy adopted by the browsers to restrict access from one domain to resources belonging to another domain. You can enable CORS for your Web API using the respective Web API package (depending on the version of Web API in use) or OWIN middleware.
Create a .NET 4.5 MVC project, install nuget package "Microsoft ASP.NET Web API [version] Cross-Origin Support" (search for "cors" and it will be on 1st or 2nd place in list). That's it.
P.S. If you encounter errors try to install "Microsoft ASP.NET Web API [version]" package too (search for "WebApi").

The System.Web.Cors assembly is now available on NuGet in the Microsoft.AspNet.Cors package. This is currently a prerelease package, so if you're using the Visual Studio package manager, you'll need to include prerelease packages.
