func PortForward

func PortForward(listenHost, forwardHost string) (chan struct{}, error)

PortForward forwards traffic from listenHost to forwardHost. It returns a stop channel to be used when stopping forwarding, and error if any.

 // Forward port 8080 to port 80.
 stop, err := PortForward(":8080", ":80")
 if err != nil {
	  return err
 }
 // Now port 8080 is forwarded to port 80.

 // Stop the portforwarding.
 close(stop)
