> we would have the same problem, as the box has no internet access.
If the box is behind a firewill, the firewall admin should actually have set up
the firewall to send back an error in case of trying to connect to the
internet. So a timeout should not happen.

We could define a framework property and or a Config Admin property, which
would disable the OBR lookup for the bundle list. Of course, I would think to
enable OBR by default ;-)
> Is it really necessary for the "bundle repository" bundle to access....
The bundle list page provides the "Update" buttons. These are enabled if the
OBR might have a more recent version of the respective bundle. To be able to
check the OBR, the URL must of course be accessed. If you can go by without OBR
updates from within the bundles list, then OBR access may be switched off (see
above).
So I propose to define a property -- say
org.apache.felix.webconsole.bundle.obr.disable -- which is false by default (if
missing or wrong value). It is checked as a framework propery and as a
ConfigurationAdmin configuration property, where the ConfigurationAdmin setting
overruels the framework property.
WDYT ?

> Possible solutions and ideas:
> - Make it possible to disable the lookup and/or the entire "bundle

> - Set the timeout to a lower value (maybe 5 or 10 seconds)
> - Is it really necessary for the "bundle repository" bundle to access the
> repo URL when you go to the "Bundle" web console tab? (It makes sense for the
> "OSGi Repository" web console tab).
> - Stopping/Uninstalling the "bundle repository" bundle poses some kind of
> chicken/egg problem, as one would have to use the "Bundle" web console tab -
> which is where the problem occurs - for that.
