correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not think port redirection
is enough !

normal http request, connect the requested host, and gives 
a request like this:
GET /xxx/yyy/zzz.html http/1.0
but a proxy is not the host requested, so the request is different:
GET http://www.hostname.com/xxx/yyy/zzz.html
so i do not think port redirection is enough
