Public Task Concepts

• Audit HTTPS WWW Canonical Host controls on a capped public sample
• Find high-priority HTTPS WWW Canonical Host issues before release
• Validate HTTPS WWW Canonical Host evidence from supplied pages
• Prioritize HTTPS WWW Canonical Host fixes with severity and proof
• Export HTTPS WWW Canonical Host QA rows for client review

HTTPS WWW Canonical Host Auditor tests whether HTTP/HTTPS and www/non-www variants converge on one preferred public URL. It follows real redirect chains and records the final host, protocol, canonical tag, HSTS signal, and actionable normalization failures.

What it checks

• Generates the enabled HTTP/HTTPS and www/non-www variants for each supplied origin.
• Follows redirects up to maxRedirects, preserving every hop and status code.
• Detects redirect loops, protocol downgrades, HTTP endpoints that do not enforce HTTPS, split final hosts, non-success finals, and canonical conflicts.
• Evaluates the preferred host/protocol and optional HSTS and canonical-tag signals.
• Accepts redirectSnapshots for repeatable audits of captured redirect behavior without replacing the live URL-fetch path.

Reports

The default key-value store includes https-www-canonical-host-audit.md, host-variant-results.csv, redirect-chain-results.json, canonical-host-conflicts.csv, and https-enforcement-issues.csv. Every report is derived from the emitted variant rows.

Example input

{
  "siteOrigins": [
    "https://example.com/"
  ],
  "preferredHost": "example.com",
  "preferredProtocol": "https",
  "testWwwNonWww": "true",
  "testHttpHttps": "true",
  "followRedirects": true,
  "maxRedirects": 6,
  "includeCanonicalTagCheck": true,
  "includeHstsCheck": true,
  "requestDelayMs": 100,
  "timeoutMs": 10000
}

Output fields

siteOrigin, variantUrl, variantType, statusCode, redirectCount, redirectChain, finalUrl, finalProtocol, finalHost, preferredHostMatched, preferredProtocolMatched, canonicalUrl, canonicalMatchesFinalUrl, hstsPresent, protocolDowngrade, loopDetected, issueCode, severity, recommendation

Cost controls

Each checked host variant produces at most one dataset row. Keep origin lists and maxRedirects bounded; use allowedDomains when the input comes from a larger sitemap.

Limitations

Results reflect public HTTP responses at run time. This actor does not change DNS, TLS certificates, redirects, server configuration, canonical tags, or HSTS policy.
