How to make IIS forwarding an URL to a port on the same machine

I have Windows Server 2012 on a cloud on my company which sits behind the company firewall. This firewall only allows connections on port 80 from the public (world) side.

The machine has IIS-6.2 configured with some websites already working on port 80 with specific URLs after the '/'. I recently installed Atlassian JIRA in there, this application has its own port listening service, at the moment configured to listen on port 8080 (URL as :8080/JIRA).

Since my company firewall is blocking everything appart from port 80, how can i make it in a way that typing on my laptop "http://[PUBLIC_WIN_SERVER_IP]/JIRA" would redirect/bind/etc to "localhost:8080/JIRA" (localhost being that Windows Server PC with JIRA, not my laptop)

I tried to use URL Rewrite module but all it does is rewrite the URL on my laptop to 127.0.0.1:8080/JIRA, which of course has nothing on it because it tries to open it on my laptop...

You may need to add AJP/1.2 Connector into JIRA's server.xml file:

<Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

You also need to configure a worker in IIS for forwarding requests to JIRA. Atlassian has a step by step configurations for JIRA and IIS here.
