Same with me actually, do you run windows? I always thought it was  
already required (noob)

I run all 3 🙂  
Net/http is usually not already required. you might have it required  
previously in the session or maybe in your .irbsc file. If you are in  
the script/console session in rails, then rails might have it required  
before you. Btw, Requiring something returns something only the first  
time, afterward it returns false.
