Why does API Manager not accept file or file+fragment references to Swagger 2.0 documents?

Problem

In the 7.7 April 2020 release notes, there's a note saying


Support for Swagger in YAML format
API Manager now supports Swagger 2.0 documents that are in YAML format, including support for external references.


But external file and file+fragment references do not work.


Resolution


External file references and external file + fragment references cannot be supported for security reasons, so URL references should be used instead.
