Summary:
Apple Caching Server does not cache Mac software updates from 10.12.x clients

If a mac AppStore App or iOS device requests an install/update it is cached and served correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Server.app on 10.12.x server machine
2. Turn on Caching and enable ClientIdentity Logging. 
3. Tail the Debug.log on the server machine.
4. Install 10.12 on a client machine
5. Run AssetCacheLocatorUtil on client machine to confirm machine is able to see caching server
6. Run `softwareupdate -d -a` note that software begins to download, however there are no connections from the client on the caching server

Expected Results:
The client running `softwareupdate -d -a` should download updates from caching server.

Actual Results:
Caching Server does not receive a request from the client and the client downloads direct from Apple 

Version:
Server.app 5.2
macOS 10.12.3

Notes:
Affects over 100 caching servers and 5,000+ Macs in our environment
