How can I force the urlUtils to use only POST requests. I a using it as shown in the following block described also in the how to use proxy section, and I have noticed that some times (maybe when the request is less than 2000 characters ) it performs GET request, which in my case is not an accepted solution. 

urlUtils.addProxyRule({
urlPrefix: "route.arcgis.com",
proxyUrl: "<url_to_proxy>"
});

    I think you're barking up the wrong tree. The web requests themselves determine whether a GET or POST is submitted, not the proxy rule. In esri.request this means specifying usePost:true in the request JSON. On dojo forms it means using form.method = "post". Without the relevant code it's impossible to answer beyond 'You can't.'

  • I have created a proxy on my own .. that hears on post requests. An I would like to avoid GETs. I know how the web works. But I would expect that arcgis and urlUtils could provide such a capability.

    urlUtils doesn't, because that's not its purpose. The JSAPI does, because I use it. You haven't provided a query, so no one can show you how to specify a POST method.

Vince is correct the best way is to use the JSAPI to specify usePost:true.

docs at https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jsapi/esri.request-amd.html

the only other way to force the SDK to generate a post is to ensure that the query string is over 2000 characters by appending some meaningless values such as where="1=1 and 1=1"
