Therefore caching is possible.

The SRU depot server itself is running https

No, it is not.

The depot server is running http on a private port that is not accessible to the outside world, which is then reverse-proxied by Apache over https.

So when a client connects to the repository it does so through the Apache cache over SSL.

(https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support)
so not sure how any proxy between that and the client is going to
provide caching..

A certificate is required for SRU access.

Found this regarding https and caching for reference:

You're misunderstanding what I was suggesting to improve performance.

My suggestion for improving performance using cache applies only to the server where the package data is being served from.

On a corporate network, the best performance can be achieved by setting up a private depot server using the repository ISO images we provide and then using Apache in a reverse-proxy setup with caching to provide access to the repository for clients.
