query task timeout exceeded on IE

[MatejSkerjanc]

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

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 '%%'

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)
