This PR fixes a critical load order issue in
http_cookie_jar.rbthat causesmsfconsoleto crash withuninitialized constant HTTP::CookieJarorCookieJar is not a classwhen loading HTTP-based modules on environments using Ruby 3.3.0+ (such as recent Kali Linux rolling updates).The newer Zeitwerk autoloader strictly enforces load order. Previously,
http_cookie_jar.rbrequiredhttp/cookie_jar/hash_storebefore the basehttp/cookieclasses were loaded into memory, causing a crash during module parsing.This change simply reverses the
requireorder of thehttp-cookiegem files to load the base classes before the dependent storage classes.Verification
