Hmm, the output is incredibly unhelpful:

~/h/lms > curl 'https://via.hypothes.is/proxy/static/VAytLB9iU1l52ptfdZ1k0Q/1623258000/https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/ILS-04-2020-0117/full/pdf'

There are several nginx servers involved in the request pipeline and this doesn't tell us which it is.

Upstream is serving a 200 response though:

~/h/lms > curl -i 'https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/ILS-04-2020-0117/full/pdf'
