Which leads me to believe it is broken. I've also been using this cache for the last month or so and it has only broken today - nothing has changed on my PC grrr

If you are manually setting your proxy and have it set for https as well as http then it is not a case of the cache intercepting it - you are forcing your https traffic to use the cache - and it is responding exactly as I would expect it to (on a port other than 443).
If it worked before then TBH I would say that was a fault or very poor security setting which they seem to have corrected.
Proxy servers will not normally respond to http or https requests on non standard ports - to prevent them being abused (like by spammers for instance).
