Chur bro. Pretty quick turnaround there

Note that westpac's sensitive area is on a separate subdomain sec.westpac.co.nz and does enforce http->https redirect - www.westpac.co.nz is just static marketing stuff.

Also for TSB, you have 'The HTTPS site redirects to HTTP.' but this doesn't seem to really be the case in a web browser.

Yeah, it looks like the script doesn't handle the . to www. redirects. I've fixed them all up (hopefully) and a few scores have changed.

It's only checking the main sites, not the separate internet banking login pages atm.

Oh, there was a bug in the script, i've merged gutworth's latest code that fixes it (And the weird green tick when the TCP connection just gets reset).

Page has been updated :)
