[MapServer-users] MapServer WEB global footer header are shown as result even if no feature was effected

[Steve Lime]

Hi Astrid: I noticed this too but in a slightly different way. It's a bug,
see the discussion here:

  https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/6907


Basically the EMPTY keyword is being ignored. This will be fixed in 8.2...
