Routing HTTPS to another port
I am accessing a remote server through ssh on a certain port (33000). The port forwarding set up on this server routes HTTPS port 443 to port 10000.
The problem is any calls i make from the command line that request a resource from a https source are not working. The application of this is i am trying to install some node packages however, putting aside access to the node.js registry which i know i can change to use the less secure http registry instead of https with:
npm config set registry 'http://....'
Some of my packages make calls to third party HTTPS locations and therefore installing of these packages hangs and never succeeds.
My knowledge is that this is happening because the HTTPS port 443 is being redirected by the server to 10000 because of the port forwarding rules in place so my question is if it's possible to route my calls to this port 10000 using iptables or something similar?
Note i have already tried setting up PREROUTING redirects with iptables with no luck.

The computer file hosts is an operating system file that maps hostnames to IP addresses so you can redirect abc.com:8080 to abc.com:1010 etc

Yeh i understand the hosts file, however in my scenario would abc.com not just be localhost / ip of the server?
