http://market.android.com/details?id=com.kamosoft.happycontacts
From my Android device, when I click on this url, I'm well forwarded to the Market application , on my application page, that's work fine.
But from a PC with a standard browser, I got 404 Error not found
! Why ?
Any idea ?

On June 30, 2017, Google will be ending support for the Android Market app on Android 2.1 Eclair and older devices. When this change happens, users on these devices will no longer be able to access, or install other apps from, the Android Market.
Go to the Play store, find the app and view its page. Copy the URL from the browser address bar. Make a note of this as the "Android Fallback URL." You'll see a parameter called "id" followed by an equal sign (=).
Select Tools > App Links Assistant. Click Open URL Mapping Editor and then click Add at the bottom of the URL Mapping list to add a new URL mapping. Figure 1. Add basic details about your site's link structure to map URLs to activities in your app.
Android App Links can drive more traffic to your app, help you discover which app content is used most, and make it easier for users to share and find content in an installed app. To add support for Android App Links: Create intent filters in your manifest. Add code to your app’s activities to handle incoming links.
Linking from an Android App. If you want to link to your products from an Android app, create an Intent that opens a URL. As you configure this intent, pass "com.android.vending" into Intent.setPackage() so that users see your app's details in the Google Play Store app instead of a chooser.
With the recent market website updates, the following will work both on the device and from non-android web browsers: However, on the device, this URL will prompt the user whether they want to open the Market app or a Browser. Show activity on this post.
The Android market isn't available on a standard web browser, only on a handset.
The market application specifies that it wishes to hijack market links from the browser. Take a look at the <data>
element in intent filters to see how this is implemented.
