Puppet 3.5 and older can't redirect from API v1 on forge.puppetlabs.com

Puppet versions prior to 3.6.0 use API v1 at https://forge.puppetlabs.com/v1/, but this breaks since the site began redirecting to forge.puppet.com. The installation commands fail with:

# puppet module install puppetlabs/ntp

Notice: Preparing to install into /etc/puppet/modules ...

Notice: Downloading from https://forge.puppetlabs.com ...

Error: Could not execute operation for 'puppetlabs/ntp'

  The server being queried was https://forge.puppetlabs.com

  The HTTP response we received was '302 Found'

    Check the author and module names are correct.

Passing --module_repository https://forge.puppet.com/ is a workaround.

If URLs beneath /api/v1 (such as https://forge.puppetlabs.com/api/v1/releases.json?module=puppetlabs-ntp) didn't redirect, this would fix the issue for these old clients.

This seems to be affecting a few users:

I've also submitted a bug to Ubuntu as 14.04's shipped Puppet version is 3.4.3 and is affected by this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1594316
