App Store displays "too many HTTP redirects" after I click a link of the app from a browser. Help.

when i click a link to the app on the app store the browser closes and opens up the app store. after 3-5 seconds, a message pops up saying "too many HTTP redirects"

i tried to reset all settings, still the same error

i tried changing DNS servers, still the same error

i tried changing security encryption on the wifi router, still the same error

i tried to free up available space to 3GB, still the same error

i restarted, still the same error

This error occured 2 days after i updated the device to 6.1

the app store alone works fine, but when i clicked a link of the app from a browser, the app store displays this.

I'm using iPad Mini 16GB wifi

can someone help us eliminate this annoyance (or bug, i might call it)
