ConnectionTimeout accessing pbdb from JupyterHub

[sLefevere]

Hello, I am TA in a course that makes extensive use of your palebiodb resources. Our infrastructure uses a JupyterHub from which students run python code that makes requests to the database.

The problem is that, as of this semester, our requests seem to be blocked by the host and a connection timeout error is raised:

ConnectTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='paleobiodb.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /data1.2/occs/list.csv?base_name=Trilobita&interval=Cambrian&show=coords (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7aa6d7ed90f0>, 'Connection to paleobiodb.org timed out. (connect timeout=None)'))

Anyway we could circumvent that?
