I suggest making the GUI part of the wallet as html page. Desctop application (bitcoin-qt) looks unusual for new users who are used to online banking. For this, it is sufficient to allow GET requests in the RPC module.

No, we will not use HTML in the bitcoin core client. It might look unusual but that is small fries compared with the security issues with interfacing with a browser, or (snicker) integrating one.
Allowing GET requests to post JSON-RPC requests is a violation of the standard use of http methods. GET should never change state. However you can pass
-restoption to be able to use a (read-only, stateless) subset of the API through GET. - laanwj added the label GUI on Sep 7, 2017
