query task timeout exceeded on IE

Question

using query task with where sentence:  LIKE '%+variable+%'.  If 'variable' is empty IE returns error time out exceeded all other browsers work. Does it have anything to do with the url limitation?

p.s. using ie 9

actually upon checking it seems the rest page uses the query with LIKE operator automatically while using esri query task you need to apply LIKE manually and just typing in %% works in IE as well (in the rest service query page). Still doesn't solve my issues with IE and task query (API)

Can you reproduce the error using the REST page or does this happen only in your JavaScript API application?

On chrome and ffox the query.where "ITEM_NAME LIKE '%%'" works and returns exactly what it should. Under explorer it doesnt. And i cant seem to use query like this in rest says : Unable to perform query using query ITEM_NAME: LIKE '%%'
