Shorewall is just a front end to IPtables. It would be easy enough to just issue the iptables command to add that in temporarily.
iptables -I net2fw -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT (or fw2net depending on the direction desired) Use iptables -nL --line-numbers to find your rule, Then use iptables -D net2fw # To delete the rule (replacing # with your rule. Probably 1, though.) Jeff Delinck All opinions are my own and do not reflect company policy.
