Description

Here is a valid schema:

{
  "title": "A registration form",
  "description": "A simple form example.",
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "address"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "address": { 
      "$ref": "https://api.myjson.com/bins/3bkzl.json#/definitions/address"
    }
  }
}

It throws exception when dereference $ref.

Research direction
Examine the library's JSON Schema dereferencing logic, likely in a utility file like 'src/utils/resolveSchema.js' or similar. The issue involves adding support for fetching external JSON Schemas via HTTP. Review the existing comments in the issue to see if any proposed solutions or pitfalls were discussed. Implement a resolver that can handle URLs by making network requests and caching the results.
