mac osx - SSH Tunnel Not Working As Expected

I'm trying to tunnel through a public IP to a private server's port 80. I know for a fact that apache is running on port 80 because if I ssh into the public IP I can access the private server via lynx just fine. The command I am using is as follows:

ssh  -N -L 9080::80

Then accessing http://localhost:9080 says unable to connect. I'm doing this from OSX. Running ssh -version I get the following in case it matters:

OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009

As requested by Ernest, here is some debug. This is after I enter my password. Removed IP address for security purposes.

debug3: packet_send2: adding 48 (len 63 padlen 17 extra_pad 64)
debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
debug1: Local connections to LOCALHOST:9080 forwarded to remote address :80

debug3: channel_setup_fwd_listener: type 2 wildcard 0 addr NULL
debug1: Local forwarding listening on ::1 port 9080.

debug3: fd 5 is O_NONBLOCK
debug1: channel 1: new [port listener]
debug1: Requesting no-more-sessions@openssh.com

And then this debug when I make a request:

Answer

So the issue was a few things.

1. The web application is running over SSL so I had to do port 443 instead of 80


2. For whatever reason, you can't forward 443 to a different local port. So I had to forward to 443.

The final command looked like this:

sudo ssh gdboling@ -N -L 443::443
