Depends on the CDN model. Any CDN seeded by fetching content over HTTP
from some master server should do fine.

Content-Encoding is a property of the object injected into the CDN.

why do same-origin pose a problem?

You mean because the plugin can not fetch http://some.other.domain/key?

Just provide the key information in whatever references the encrypted
URL. Hinting a keyid in the encrypted resource response is not really
needed, it's sufficient to say that it's encrypted.
