ScreenTicket returned from vCloud API appears to be invalid

I'm trying to open the remote console plugin to access vm consoles in the browser.

I make a rest call to

https://10.0.11.31/api/v1.0/vApp/vm-273392803/screen/action/acquireTicket

which returns

<ScreenTicket xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1 http://10.0.11.31/api/v1.0/schema/master.xsd">mks://10.0.11.43/vm-3218?ticket=TE-Q9%2B%2BXkIf4n6Ml60ojet7%2F1yQNLzvyknmwZHnbnVDuxbINMgQYDhXHwOMxCp7cbixPsnoOuP9%2FcqJNtQjvTRuErle4ddi%2BaNt-pDLeMtRtl8EVz2QGJzYRRIbn1mGoS0JCzt8TjWOrHKjhIc6v1ww4irTxXeUWRNT76r%2FxmieL5qHJuNs0YJGTOKmcpZ7DJmLbpIzd4qB9SUzbI6m9ltkiboGffBKRxQbwDsyEUHoW1j88kHyypXQNi3FfYfE%2BgIR7OgeibIz2nG0%3D</ScreenTicket>

from this String i extract the host, ticket and vm args required for the browser object.... the ticket part of the string appears to be URL encoded so i decode it then I push this to the browser and then use this code to launch the console.

var obj = document.getElementById('mks');

var ret = obj.connectWithSession('10.0.11.43', 'TE-Q9++XkIf4n6Ml60ojet7/1yQNLzvyknmwZHnbnVDuxbINMgQYDhXHwOMxCp7cbixPsnoOuP9/cqJNtQjvTRuErle4ddi+aNt-pDLeMtRtl8EVz2QGJzYRRIbn1mGoS0JCzt8TjWOrHKjhIc6v1ww4irTxXeUWRNT76r/xmieL5qHJuNs0YJGTOKmcpZ7DJmLbpIzd4qB9SUzbI6m9ltkiboGffBKRxQbwDsyEUHoW1j88kHyypXQNi3FfYfE+gIR7OgeibIz2nG0=','vm-3218', 2);

</script>

the object loads and the remote console app loads but I get and invalid ticket error.

Am I doing things correctly or is the vcloud API giving me invalid tickets?
