get-url: expected 'export': %s

Error message

get-url: expected 'export': %s

What it means

In 'lures get-url <id> import <file> export <path> [format]', the 5th argument was not the literal keyword 'export', so the command chain is invalid. A keyword-validation guard in handleLures that echoes the offending token via %s.
