Tika returns HTTP Error 504: Gateway Time-out

Tika was working for me until yesterday but today I get 504 error when tika server is being downloaded. I get the error when the PDF is being read parsed = parser.from_file('mypdf.pdf')

Here is the error trace

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    651 
    652 class HTTPRedirectHandler(BaseHandler):

Any suggestions?

Change the url to download via the appropriate environment variable:

import os
os.environ['TIKA_SERVER_JAR'] = 'https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tika/tika-server/1.19/tika-server-1.19.jar'
import tika
from tika import parser
