ajax.microsoft.com renamed to ajax.aspnetcdn.com

The CDN used to use the microsoft.com domain name and has been changed to use the aspnetcdn.com domain name. This change was made to increase performance because when a browser referenced the microsoft.com domain it would send any cookies from that domain across the wire with each request. By renaming to a domain name other than microsoft.com performance can be increased by as much to 25%. Note ajax.microsoft.com will continue to function but ajax.aspnetcdn.com is recommended.

• Old Format: http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.4.js
• New Format: http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.4.js

The new format does not support SSL yet, so if you need to use SSL you should use the older format until we get SSL enabled on the new format.
