You meant 443 here, not 445 (which is SMB over TCP/IP).

http proxy probably only listens to port 80. Even if it would actually
be aware of port 445 it wouldn't be useful, as it is encrypted. You
can intercept the encrypted connection with ettercap for example.

I would recommend that the original poster uses a proxy such as Paros
(http://www.parosproxy.org/index.shtml) that can intercept both HTTP
and HTTPS requests.
