On CyanogenMod (source : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20002-web-proxy-setup/)

In CM6 there was a setting in the Wireless & Settings for the proxy.

In CM7 you have to long press on the desktop background. Then in the list that pops up select Custom Shortcut - Pick your activity - Activities - Settings - toward the bottom of this long list is Proxy Settings

Add this shortcut to your desktop. When you then click on the shortcut you can enter your proxy address and port number.
