Site Warmup with Azure Websites

Question

I'm trying to setup my Azure Website (not webrole) to warm itself up with Application Initialization.

This feature has been added to Azure Websites in Janurary 2016: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/169385-web-apps-formerly-websites/suggestions/6972595-application-initialization-to-warm-up-specific-pag

I have my applicationInitialization setup like so in my web.config:

<system.webServer>
    <applicationInitialization remapManagedRequestsTo="StartUp.html" >
      <add initializationPage="/" />
      <add initializationPage="/pricing" />
    </applicationInitialization>
...
</system.webserver>

I've also tried specifying the hostname like so:

<add initializationPage="/pricing" hostname="my.host.name.net />

This warmup works fine locally, but when I deploy to an Azure Website I don't get StartUp.html to load or my warm up pages hit.

Question: How do I warm up my azure website with ApplicationInitialization?

Here's some of the research I've done on this:
