Description

When requesting a specific configuration directly using IE8 like:
http://localhost:8080/system/console/configMgr/org.apache.sling.event.impl.jobs.jcr.LockManager

this results in a javascript error.

I'Ve traced this a little bit down (or tried to) and it seems that this call in config.js:
$.post(create ? uri + '?create=1' : uri, null, displayConfigForm, 'json');
does a GET on IE8 which in turn doesn't return JSON and that results in a parsing error

(but might also be something completely different)
