Description

The swagger editor make two calls to generate code. First a POST to send he JSON/YAML that returns a link to download the code. It then calls a GET using the link that was returned. This works fine if there is shared storage backing the code gen servers behind a load balancer. But it breaks if the code gen servers write the .zip file to their private file systems.
It would be good if swagger-codegen can be hosted behind a loadbalancer without setting up shared storage. Perhaps a single POST request that returns the generated code?
