<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all: I’m trying to debug a failing CITE test (wfs_200_cite_filter_like.xml) for RFC 91 that uses PropertyIsLike. In master that resolves to “item like ‘%’”  for OGR and other databases. For a shapefile it resolves to “item ~ ‘.*’”. In
 the test shapefile data there are a bunch of null values for the item being checked. The test in question uses the OGR driver. Here’s a quick summary:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This change is because RFC 91 translation runs through the MapServer expression syntax and the OGR driver can handle both cases. However, that’s not the problem since you shouldn’t see the difference in master either – a straight shapefile
 fails. I’m guessing that way down in the shapefile driver nulls in the DBF are handled as empty string which technically match the “0 or more character” pattern. Any ideas on how to deal with something like this? Changing the regex to “.+” makes the test pass
 but I don’t think that’s the correct solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
