I'd tried doing similar things in the past, but quite often the thing
you wanted wasn't cached.  Not even at that moment.  There's an awful
lot of websites that bugger up caching.  Trying to use a browser in
off-line mode, stepping through the cache, frequently doesn't work.  But
you'd expect that something that you were currently looking at would
have files sitting in your cache, at least.  And, no, I'm not talking
about something served through HTTPS when you you've got settings not to
cache securely received pages.

On a whim, I just tried that to see what was in mine.  In the past, I'd
seen cache directories that were a pile of sub-directories, so I didn't
expect that I'd see useful results.  But there was just one directory
full of cached files.

Then did a "file" command on one of the files listed.  It was a DOS
executable.  Hmm, don't you just love *NOT* running a Microsoft OS or
browser when you web browse...?
