It depends on what type of client you run on C2. Normally one would expect a web browser that accesses WS. Normally WS would access S. In that setup tunneling is no problem at all. Just give the WS the entry point of an ssh tunnel (connect to localhost:XXXX) put the tunnel through to the listener address on S.
Maybe C2 runs a fat java application that is able to connect both WS and S. Possible but likely ? I don't know.
