"one week ago" doesn't match anything that happened on mentors.
The change we made about the *recommended* ftp upload path (i.e., the
old one should work just fine) have nothing to do with the http upload
method.
What changed, back the 2018-02-23, is that before there was a redirect
from http to https for everything except /upload, whereas now we
accidentally moved to redirect everything *including* /upload.
Apparently there was a reason for that exception that was accidentally
dropped, but I believe moving to https is fine, and things seem to work
just fine after s/http/https/ so I'd rather not add that exception
anymore.
FWIW:

Then, especially after you switched your local user configuration to use
ftp so it's basically the same as the one shipped by dput, why aren't
you using it?
