What you probably want to do is add an entry in /etc/hosts (or run your own private dns if things get complicate) that
mapsyour webapp machine name to 127.0.0.1, then ssh port forward port 80 to port 80 on that machine (by number). This
foolsyour local browser is fooled into thinking that 127.0.0.1 is the webapp server.
