Ok. And the server running the PCA local caching proxy has a direct connection to the Internet, or does it have to go through a standard web proxy? If not, your setup can be simplified.
Pca.conf of client: user=xxxxxx passwd=xxxxxxx debug=1
As you are using a PCA local caching proxy, it's not necessary to set user/passwd in pca.conf on the client. Setting it on the PCA proxy is enough - so remove these.

You set wgetproxy here, so you tell wget that it can't connect to the Internet directly, but has to go through a web proxy. Is this correct, and is "servername" the same machine running the PCA local caching proxy? It is *not* necessary to set "wgetproxy" if only a PCA local caching proxy is involved.
Please remove the "threads" setting here. It doesn't make sense on a PCA proxy, and might introduce other problems.
Changed values from wgetrc of client: http_proxy = http://servername:portnumber/ https_proxy = http://servername:portnumber/ ftp_proxy = http://servername:portnumber/
As the client is configured to use a PCA local caching proxy, it will only connect to that server and not to the Internet directly. So you do not need these settings on the client.
Debug output of trying to download one patch that does not reside on the proxy server: ... --2011-02-07 13:18:35-- http:// servername:portnumber/cgi-bin/pca-proxy.cgi?144221-02 Resolving servername... x.x.x.x Connecting to servername|x.x.x.x|:portnumber... connected. Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal Server Error 2011-02-07 13:18:35 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.
So the PCA local caching proxy fails with a rather generic error. Please make the above mentioned changes in your setup, re-run this same pca command, and show me debug output of this command, but also debug output from the PCA local caching proxy, which is logged to /var/tmp/pca-proxy-debug.txt on the server.
Removing /tmp/pca.803954 Failed (Error 500: Internal Server Error) Trying Oracle Trying https://getupdates.oracle.com/ (1/1)
As downloading the patch from the PCA proxy failed, pca on the client now tries to connect to the Oracle server through your local web proxy, but it fails with an error from the web proxy:
Connecting to servername|x.x.x.x|:portnumber... connected. Proxy tunneling failed: Authorization RequiredUnable to establish SSL connection.
That's a problem with your local web proxy, but we'll ignore that. In a working PCA local caching proxy setup, the PCA client will never try to connect to the Internet at all, as the PCA proxy will fulfill all download queries.
