This fixes an error present in the auxiliary/server/capture/http module that was introduced in acf23e9. Prior to these changes, the module would crash with an exception when a client made a connection to it.

[11/22/2023 11:46:36] [e(0)] core: Error in stream server server monitor: uninitialized constant Rex::Proto::Http::ServerClient

Verification

  • Start msfconsole
  • use auxiliary/server/capture/http and run the module
  • Make an HTTP request to it and see that it responds instead of crashing
