While looking at egeo.usss.gov for HTTPS/HSTS issues per customer request for assistance to understand why 'Enforces HTTPS' was failing (based on the most recent code change we made here: #192, http-www endpoint was correctly causing this failure because it doesn't redirect to an https site), I noticed that the https-www endpoint also does not have an HSTS header. The report is incorrectly showing Strong HSTS = True because it is based on the HSTS header of the plain https endpoint.

I think a change similar to the "Bugfix for domain_enforces_https() logic" at link above needs to be done to ensure that both the plain https and the https-www endpoints are checked for Strong HSTS.

@climber-girl, I agree. If both endpoints are live then they should both have HSTS and we should check for that. However, the code currently does a lot to scope things to only check the canonical endpoint rather than both types (root and www). I wonder what @h-m-f-t thinks?
