webcache.blueyonder.co.uk usually uses port 8080 but allows connections from here on 3128. It runs on squid and 3128 is the standard port for squid, it may be worth checking if your proxies allow use of other ports.

Interestingly webcache.virginmedia.com also allows connections on 8080 and 3128 but outputs an invalid request on exit however webcache.blueyonder.co.uk only outputs the message on port 8080 only. I am assuming that this means that the VM webcache allows use of both ports but the BY one doesn't, but I am guessing.

I am almost bored enough to test this theory.
