[Geomoose-users] GM3 identify items in SpatiaLite db?

GetFeatureInfo doesn't take any query parameters that are case
sensitive, but it's response contains field names.  GeoMoose cares about
the case of those field names matching the template (in the mapbook) and
any other place they are used.  Different data sources to MapServer have
different defaults for how they handle the case of field names.

For example, in the mapbook (or GeoMoose remote template):

{{ properties.pin }} is not the same as {{ properties.PIN }} and to work
it must match the field name as it is returned by MapServer.  If it
doesn't, the field will be shown as "???".
