504 Gateway Timeout is a status a proxy might emit, when it’s acting
as a proxy and not getting a response from an upstream server.
This is fairly close to 502 Bad Gateway, except that 502 should be
returned when a proxy got an invalid response, and 504 typically when the
proxy didn’t get a response at all (or too late).
Example
HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Timeout
Content-Type text/html
<h1>Timeout</h1>
<p>We did not get a timely response from our upstream application server :(</p>
