The solution to this is to use Proxy Add Ons on your browser. The ones i suggest are:

QuickProxy for firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1557

The beauty of QuickProxy is that it's a one click on and off solution.

- Once installed go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Network (Tab) and click on Settings button under "Connection ".
- Select the Manual proxy configuration option and for HTTP Proxy enter the IP address of your local web server and the Port number.
- Click on OK
- On the bottom right of the firefox browser you will see a icon with the letter P. Click on it to turn it on (it turns green) and click on it once again to turn it off (turns red).

ProxySwitchy For Chrome:

This one is a bit simpler to use because it adds a button on the top right of the browser, where you can choose Options in the drop down.
- With ProxySwitchy you can setup profiles so you can manage multiple different redirects/forwards. Enter a name for your new proxy profile.
- In a similar process, you set up your proxy by adding the IP address an port number.
- Hit save, Hit close.
- Turning it on and off as easy and click on the world icon on the top right of the chrome browser and choosing the profile you want to use.
