get a URL to connect the console from this API. The URL includes the token
which is used to get permission to access the console. Servers may support
different console protocols. To return a remote console using a specific
protocol, such as RDP, set the ``protocol`` parameter to ``rdp``. For the same
protocol, there may be different connection types such as ``vnc protocol and
novnc type`` or ``vnc protocol and xvpvnc type``.
