No ticket or CSRF prevention token returned

I have made some improvements to the script from this thread: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/16561-Remote-Spice-access-*without*-using-web-manager

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# needs pve-manager >= 3.1-44
usage() { 
    echo "Usage: $0 [-u <string>] [-p <string>] vmid node proxy"
    echo
    echo "-u username. Default root@pam"
    echo "-p password. Default ''"
    echo
    echo "node: Proxmox cluster node name"
    echo "proxy: DNS or IP"
    echo "vmid: id for VM"
    exit 1
}

while getopts ":u:p:" o; do
    case "${o}" in
        u)
            USERNAME=${OPTARG}
            ;;
        p)
            PASSWORD=${OPTARG}
            ;;
        *)
            usage
            ;;
    esac
done
shift $((OPTIND-1))

if [ -z $PASSWORD ]; then
    PASSWORD=""
fi
if [ -z $USERNAME ]; then
    USERNAME=root@pam
fi

# select VM
[ -z $1 ] && usage
VMID=$1

[ -z $2 ] && usage
NODE=$2
# or NODE=${2:-<default node to use>}

[ -z $3 ] && usage
PROXY=$3
# or PROXY=${3:-<default proxy to use>}

From the script: # needs pve-manager >= 3.1-44

Apparently there has been a change in API?

This leaves you with two options
1) Upgrade
2) Change script to fit with old API.
 
Thanks for your help. I was thinking about upgrading anyway. Is there any documentation on upgrading from PVE 3.1 to 3.2?
