Setting module options just got easier! Rapid7's own Dean Welch [https://github.com/dwelch-r7] added a new option [https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/13961] to framework called RHOST_HTTP_URL, which allows users to set values for multiple URL components, such as RHOSTS, RPORT, and SSL, by specifying a single option value. For example, instead of typing set RHOSTS example.com, set RPORT 5678, set SSL true, you can now accomplish the same thing with the command set RHOST_HTTP_URL
