It depends on what application you are using. It would be a good idea to set the environmental variable HTTP_PROXY in your profile to your proxy:
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host:port
if you require authentication you can use export HTTP_PROXY="http://username:password@host:port"
This works for a lot of the open source toolbox stuff that is built on AIX.
The application you're using needs to be proxy aware and the documentation should specify how to configure it for proxy use.
