Headers reporting 401 on local apache machine but not live

So on my local machine I have all the proper header response information returning. I am using Apache on the local machine. On the live machine is Nginx. With the live machine if the token is not valid it will return a 500 server error. Here is all of my code.

I am using Laravel 5.3. and "tymon/jwt-auth": "0.5.*"

Sample Route that requires auth

/*Track User */
    Route::get('user/track/{track}',[
        'middleware' => [
            'jwt.auth'
        ],
        'uses' => 'TracksController@getTrack'
    ]);

I access the route like this

/api/user/track/1/?token=yJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOjEsImlzcyI6Imh0dHA6XC9cL3d3dy5kZXZxaS5jb21cL2FwaVwvYXV0aCIsImlhdCI6MTQ4Njk5OTE3NSwiZXhwIjoxNDg3MDAyNzc1LCJuYmYiOjE0ODY5OTkxNzUsImp0aSI6IjU0OGQ5NDgxMzQ5NzAzZWE5YzQ5MmY2MDI4OTA5NGIwIn0.7laljlbpNO3fHBNs4N3Bt2cBav6UYCp38jl1Zp5lL2k
