Debian Buster: Tesseract not supporting URL as argument

I'm trying to parse text from a hosted image, but it looks like I've miss-configured Tesseract. I'm using Debian Buster, tesseract-ocr, libtesseract-dev and a Ruby wrapper are installed.

#  $ tesseract -v
tesseract 4.0.0
 leptonica-1.76.0
  libgif 5.1.4 : libjpeg 6b (libjpeg-turbo 1.5.2) : libpng 1.6.36 : libtiff 4.1.0 : zlib 1.2.11 : libwebp 0.6.1 : libopenjp2 2.3.0
 Found AVX2
 Found AVX
 Found SSE

Inside a terminal tesseract output returns Error, cannot read input : No such file or directory. The same error message is raised using the Ruby gem. Did I miss something after installing the packages ? The doc talks about manually placing the traneddata directory on Ubuntu, should it also be done on Debian ? > The traineddata is currently not shipped with the snap package and must be placed manually to ~/snap/tesseract/current. I can get it working by using curl and local path as argument, but it should support URL as argument Thanks **EDIT** I've tested both v4.1.1 and v5.0.0 by following these instructions and setting up tessdata directory. They both explicity returns that they don't support URLs:

Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v5.0.0-alpha-647-g4a00 with Leptonica
Error, this tesseract has no URL support
Error during processing.

I'm obviously missing something because release notes says it supports URL since 4.1.1
