This is easy enough to do for a single URL, just use
http://localhost:8080/http/news.bbc.co.uk/ (remove the ':/' after the
http and put the URL immediately after the proxy URL).

The problem is that this will only fetch a single URL.  WWWOFFLE will
not modify the contents of the page to change all of the links to use
the same local URL format.  This means that unless the page uses
relative links for everything within the page (images etc) the page
will not display correctly.

The best solution would be to get a browser extension that allows
proxy switching, FoxyProxy for Firefox will let you change proxies
fairly easily.

How does htdig do what?

No.
