Cache warmup does not work

[EvaSDK]

The cache warmup task does not work as it tries to access the webserver without a scheme.

In commit d65b039, use of requests was removed and replaced by urlopen. However at the same time, the get_url function was modified to not include HTTP scheme anymore. While this could make sense if the service is running behind a reverse proxy or if SSL is used, this is not currently configurable

Expected results

Cache warmup task is performed.

Actual results

Cache warmup fails with a traceback.

@willbarrett, is using requests a good option and it is better to stick to python 3 builtin modules ?

[willbarrett]

@EvaSDK I think it would be better to stick with python 3 built-in modules.

As a temporary workaround, I had to set SUPERSET_WEBSERVER_ADDRESS = 'http://0.0.0.0' in my superset_config.py.
