I don't know about ssh tunneling like that, but if it is just an
encrypted site, possibly you don't even need ssh, and can use ssl. Your
url would change from "http://...." to "https://...." (note the "s" of
https instead of http). Are you sure the web site isn't just using
encryption, that it is actually requiring ssh?
