Description

Sometimes, on some browsers, when the user tries to open the web console it waits a long time before the authentication dialog is shown.

The reason is in OsgiManagerHttpContext after line 140:
response.setHeader( HEADER_WWW_AUTHENTICATE, AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME_BASIC + " realm=\"" + this.realm + "\"" );
response.setStatus( HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED );
response.flushBuffer();

Sometimes, after this request the browser still expects some data. The fix is just one line, that should be added before the response is flushed:
response.setContentLength(0);
response.flushBuffer();
