Have you followed all 3 steps outlined here in the docs to generate a valid session id?

I have a test script you can look at here, which is purely front end code so you can inspect the source to see what exactly is happening. It's working properly.

Thank you Travis! For some reason when I generated the session_id on my own, it didn't work. The generator you linked worked for me though.
