works on Lion and Maverick 

Step 1: View current firewall rules.

sudo ipfw show

Step 2: Add port forwarding rule (80 to 8080)

sudo ipfw add 100 fwd 127.0.0.1,8080 tcp from any to any 80 in

If you want to remove your firewall rules run:

sudo ipfw flush

To Make Changes permanent

Persistence:

put your rules into a file :

/etc/ipfw.conf

add at the very top of your file

flush

Ensure that there are not leading or trailing whitespaces in any line.

add to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.yourdomain.ipfw.plist :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.yourdomain.ipfw</string> <key>Program</key> <string>/sbin/ipfw</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/sbin/ipfw</string> <string>-q</string> <string>/etc/ipfw.conf</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>

Either reboot, or

launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.yourdomain.ipfw.plist

the first time.

After that it is

launchctl load com.yourdomain.ipfw
