How interesting!  You guys are good.

ssh  -L 80:<remotemachine>:<remoteport>  me@<remotemachine>
and
http://localhost/ in the browser did indeed work - to a point.

The point was the homepage of the website.  However, I was unable to go
beyond the hoempage.  Thus, mousing over a selection gave me an address
http://<remotemachine>:<remoteport>/Selection, clicking on that gave
me a "could not connect to host <remotemachine> (port <remoteport>)"
message, which you might expect.  But I got the same result by using
http://localhost/Selection.

I needed to be root to make the connection; I was able to login as myself;
and I tried the browser both as root and myself, with the same result.

Any other ideas?

Why do I need to use port 80 at my end?
