On l10n.gnome.org, we have a page that displays media files (mainly png) to
compare original with translated medias. Now there is also videos in some
documentations and I would like to display them with the HTML5 <video> tag.
However, some browsers (e.g. Firefox) do not allow cross-domain video sources. 

For an example, check
http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gnome-games/gnotravex/master/fr/images/

The trick is to serve videos with the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to
indicate to the browser that some or all sites are allowed to "cross-link".
