Port Redirection

Apologies first of all if I have some of the terminology wrong; it's been
quite some time since I last played in this space!

I have an application that connects to google maps for the purposes of
providing location data. The client application connects using port 80. My
company only allows outbound traffic through a proxy server on 8080, 80 is
actually reserved for management.

Is there a way in which I can redirect a request from the application on
port 80 to port 8080 before it leaves the originating server?

Not that I can think of. Your proxy server would have to do this. This seems
like a really weird setup, honestly. I'd reverse things - 8080 for
management and allow 80 outbound. Talk to whomever manages the proxy server.
