Forgive my impertinence, but on the face of it, that question does not
seem to make a lot of sense.
HTTP or HTTPS are protocols that carry requests and responses over "the
outside world" (e.g. the Internet or Intranet). A sub-request is
something that happens totally inside of Apache, so it does not really
have (nor need) a protocol. You just ask Apache to return the result of
getting "/location/object", without ever leaving the context of Apache
itself.

Now, a REDIRECT going back to the browser is another story, but above
you mention sub-requests, don't you ?
