Ok, I'm sure this thread is gonna elicit alot of humor, but I had to ask. I know how SSH port forwarding works normally using:

ssh -C -L source-port:remote server:destination-port user@remote.server

This makes remote server send a encrypted tunnel from destination-port to my local source-port...

My questions is this, if I did:

ssh -C -L 12345:freebsd.org:80 me@127.0.0.1

and logged in, would the traffic between and from http://127.0.0.1:12345
be encrypted?
