Even Forced SSL is broken for Facebook Google Twitter

Someone did create a curious counter measure of sorts:
http://notendur.hi.is/~gas15/FireShepherd/
though it now gets a 404, the cache can be seen at:
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:iMYqKzHm76IJ:notendur.hi.is/~gas15/FireShepherd/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk

Does anyone know how to ensure that a https google search result also
points to a https version of webcache.googleusercontent.com? And whether
there is a feasible way to automatically show by default a text on https
version of a site via webcache.googleusercontent.com?

Thanks
Frank
