<% '======================================================================================================================= ' Jurisdiction Number Validation '======================================================================================================================= ' Validates a submitted jurisdiction number against the JCode field of the jurisdictions ' list served by JurisdictionApiUrl (see public/web.config). That list is essentially static ' reference data (townships/municipalities), so it's cached in Application scope for ' JurisdictionCacheMinutes (default 60) instead of being fetched on every /request-order ' submission. If a refresh attempt fails, stale cached data is used rather than blocking ' order requests; only when there is no cached data at all (e.g. immediately after an app ' pool restart, with the API also unreachable) does validation fail open (allow) rather than ' block every order request site-wide. ' ' The cache is stored as a single delimited STRING ("|code1|code2|...|"), not a ' Scripting.Dictionary or array of objects - Scripting.Dictionary is an apartment-threaded ' COM object, and IIS raises "ASP 0197: Disallowed object use" if you try to store one in ' the Application intrinsic (which is shared across all requests/threads). A plain string is ' just script data, so it's safe to cache this way.
