Technically yes, there is no way to cache it without breaking into the
HTTPS.

SSL-Bump is the Squid feature for accessing HTTPS data in decrypted form
for filtering and/or caching.

However, that will depend on;
a) being able to "bump" the crypto (if the WU app is validating server
cert against a known signature its not),
b) the content inside actually being HTTPS (they do updates via P2P now
too), and
c) the HTTP content inside being cacheable (no guarantees, but a good
chance its about as cacheable as non-encrypted updates).

You are the first to mention it, so there is no existing info on those
requirements.
