[html] codegen ignores schema on a separate path

Description

When parsing a swagger.yaml file which contains external schema via $ref, swagger-codegen only looks at the last element of the schema path. Thus, for the below definition only the schema for a at http://localhost/swagger-codegen-apidoc/schemas/a/schema.json is processed. The schema for b at http://localhost/swagger-codegen-apidoc/schemas/b/schema.json is ignored. Using -l html, the schema links for member b resolves to a model named schema which links to the schema for http://localhost/swagger-codegen-apidoc/schemas/a/schema.json. The name schema appears to be derived from the last path element schema.json and dropping everything after the first ..

Our real use case depends on the ability to distinguish models by path, as we use the url pattern http://www.example.com/schema/{{media-type-name}}/v1/schema.json for schema for many different application/vnd.sas.* media types as these media types / schema are shared across many APIs. (We do not embed them in each swagger.yaml file but use $ref to reference the shared schema files.)

For example with generate -l html, the output looks like

model - A sample model A model that which represents a thing resource. contains members a, b, and a version. a (optional) schema Model A b (optional) schema Model B version (optional) String semantic version

swagger-codegen also can't distinguish resources such as http://localhost/swagger-codegen-apidoc/schemas/application/vnd.sas.a.json and http://localhost/swagger-codegen-apidoc/schemas/application/vnd.sas.b.json. swagger-codegen appear to strip off everything after the first . in the last path element, and thus both of these resolve to the model name vnd.

The only way to make this work is to contort the resource names: http://localhost/swagger-codegen-apidoc/schemas/application/vnd-sas-a.json http://localhost/swagger-codegen-apidoc/schemas/application/vnd-sas-b.json We would prefer to not do this just because of the tooling.

swagger-ui also has similar problems with these schema resources.
