Assuming this your firewall setup is to have the firewall machine between the two networks, you need to set up a ServerSocket facing the outside world (the side making HTTP requests) on port 80 and listen for connections.

When you get a connection, you open a socket to the real web server on the other network niterface (unless you wish to block it). If the firewall doesn't physically separate the two networks, then HTTP clients must be configured to use your proxy server, or they'll just bypass it.
