error using remote dataset conf in a directory

[brancomat]

let's say I put this conf in a cosmo_remote dir:

archive age = 10
description = COSMO 2.2Km Rapid Update Cycle, Italian area (archive)
filter = origin:GRIB1,80,,14; area:GRIB:Ni=576,Nj=701
index = reftime, timerange, level, product
name = cosmo_2I_ruc_arc
path = http://arkimet6.metarpa:8090/dataset/cosmo_2I_ruc_arc
postprocess = singlepoint, subarea
replace = yes
restrict = simc, cosmo
server = http://arkimet6.metarpa:8090
step = daily
type = remote
unique = origin, reftime, timerange, level, product

arki-querying the dataset gives an error

$ arki-query --yaml --summary-short '' cosmo_remote/
WARNING cosmo_remote failed: while Cannot query /autofs/nfshomes/dbranchini/buttami/cosmo_remote/summary: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL()

I'm aware that if I add a section (e.g. [cosmo_2I_ruc_arc]) to the file it works when passed to arki-query as a file, but it would be useful if the remote dataset type could work even as a dataset conf.
Should this not be possible, at least the error output could be less obscure.

I might be missing something, but it doesn't seem to work.

config file:

$ cat cosmo_5M_ita_arc/config 
__logname = CINECA;cosmo_5M_ita
archive age = 20
bksize = week
description = COSMO 5km, Operational suite, Italian area, archive
filter = origin:GRIB1,80,,22; area:GRIB:Ni=386,latfirst=-10575000, lonfirst=-7785000, type=10

It looks like there's another place that I missed where the replacement of path= is still happening
