That is very strange. The cache has nothing to do with HTTPS vs HTTP.
All inputs and outputs are just URI+object with a hashe.

It dont matter if its http:// or https:// or ftp:/ or gopher:// or
whois:// ... its just a URI with a binary object attached.


I suspect you are probably encountering object corruption from in
incomplete shutdown/restart process. This can happen if there is a big
object in transit at the time, or if you set shutdown_timeout to a
small value, or used kill -9 to stop Squid.
