sites which are presented without www are as such because they resolve to the
same IP addresses than the sites that do have the www prefix/host part, this
is an artefact of the way the scanning script works.

Additionally, just because a site doesn't redirect to https, doesn't mean
that it doesn't use it ever. It may use it for login for administrators, it
may use it only when asking for personally identifiable information, only
for specific subpages, etc.
