WFS PropertyIsLike case sensitive

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi,

this is how the OGC spec defines a WFS should operate, it should operate 
case sensitive by default.

There is a little tweak in Mapserver to get it to behave case 
insensitive, but it's a mix of WFS 1.0.0 and Filter 1.1 which is 
strictly speaking against the OGC rules.

If you add matchCase="false" to your PropertyIsLike it should work. Note 
other WFS 1.0.0 servers won't support this.

Best regards,
Bart
