SV: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WFS PropertyIsLike case sensitive

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Sture,

as soon as Mapserver will start supporting WFS 1.1, this can remain one 
of the features. But I don't know when that will be.

The strange thing about filter 1.1 was also that the schema has 
matchCase for propertyisequalto filters but not for properyislike 
filters, which seems to be a mistake on the OGC side (at least that was 
the last feedback I got off-list from Peter Vretanos from Cubewerx, the 
editor of the spec), but can also take time to get corrected on the OGC 
side (a new Filter version, and then waiting for a new WFS version to 
incorporate the new Filter version etc. ....).

Best regards,
Bart
