Is this ArcGIS url still supported?

Question

I have a old web service that is pointing to this url:

http://geocode.arcgis.com:80/arcgis/services/World/GeocodeServer

However, it stopped working today giving a 400 Bad Request Error. Has this url been deprecated?

I contacted Esri, the company behind ArcGIS, to figure out the issue. They recently switched their systems over to HTTPS, so that's what's causing the error.

Here's an example working URL:

https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/reverseGeocode?f=json&location=-71.4225,42.3888

And the response:

Is this ArcGIS url still supported?
