WAC 2103 Export-Connection gives error

I get an error when trying to export my server list connections - any ideas?

I have a lot of servers entered - I would feel a lot more comfortable with a backup of them...

PS C:\Users\grma> Import-Module "$env:ProgramFiles\windows admin center\PowerShell\Modules\ConnectionTools"
PS C:\Users\grma> Export-Connection "https://localhost" -fileName "WAC-connections.csv"
Invoke-WebRequest : Unable to connect to the remote server

    I can export connection,
    if you use WAC version 2103, please update to version 2103.2 and try again.

      I have just updated to 2103.2 and still get the same issue.

      Is it because I am not using a FQDN like in the example - my host connects using https://localhost in a browser?
