Connecting to localhost gives websocket error

I am getting started with qlik desktop and I have connected to the desktop via Visual Studio plugin. I have added 2 sheets to visual studio, but when i debug to localhost, I get errors

In .js file...

var config = {

    host: window.location.hostname,

    prefix: '/',

    port: window.location.port,

    isSecure: window.location.protocol === "https:"

};

require.config( {

    baseUrl: (config.isSecure ? "https://" : "http://") + config.host + (config.port ? ":" + config.port : "") + config.prefix + "resources"

});

require(["js/qlik"], function(qlik) {

    // open the app

    var app = qlik.openApp('c31e2aba-3b46-4b13-8b87-c5c2514dea1d', config); //someone please tell me what this id is and where it comes from because I c&p'd off of the tutorials and idk what goes here

});

In VS:

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphMain" runat="server">

        <div class="qlik-embed" data-qlik-appid="\\apfs01\users\rbeets\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Apps\app1.qvf" data-qlik-objid="ZCJjkN></div>

    <div class="qlik-embed" data-qlik-appid="\\apfs01\users\rbeets\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Apps\app2.qvf" data-qlik-objid="JRcLVC"></div>

</asp:Content>

and the errors 1 and 2:

Websocket connection to 'ws://localhost......aspx' failed. Error during Websocket handshake. Unexpected response code: 404

Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module      ...from require.js:6

So the first thing to do is forget what qlik tells you to do to connect to it. I used the javascript built in websocket commands to connect and it works fine for connection.

I really did not get this

var websocketURL = 'see_attached_pic_to_find_out_what_this_is';


Will the target id not change dynamically, on each request?? should I hardcode that url here??

theres a pic attached to the comment.

I haven't got that far to get it from code, but when you execute a macro, the ticket id will be at the end of the url

Thanks for this, I was able to connect and retrieve the list of apps.  I found that I didn't need to supply the TicketID.  I assume this was done by behind the scenes.
