Gees. I hope that isn't the simplest thing out there to accomplish this
simple task. I looked at the docs. Win XP is not fully supported - it
says transparent proxy wasn't even ported, and lists a lot of other
issues.

I can almost do what I want with Privoxy. It can accept connections
from an external port and pass the web page request (in this case) on.
It doesn't encrypt anything, though, and has no option to require
passwords for port access. The only thing I want is an encrypted
password to be passed - I don't care about encryption after that.
