Export note

The 'export' requests is the second request and returns the sought data of a given generated 'hlid' (hit list id).

The params passed are many and are to allow the table formatting.

In the class SmallWorld there's a class attribute called valid_export_columns which is a dictionary that goes into the get request's params.

It currently is not split up and has keys like 'columns[0][name]' as opposed to a single 'columns' holding a value of type List[Dict[str, Any]]. Say:

 'order':   [{'column': 0, 'dir': 'asc'}, ],
 'search':  [{'value': '', 'regex': False}]
 }

This is because for some reason it the HTML quoted version is different than the above. As the janky 'columns[0][name]' works, I've not bothered looking into it.
