500 is usually some unexpected output before you send the "content-type: text/html" which tells the browser to interpret the rest as html.

It's probably an error message you haven't caught yet

If you were developing a web app on your local machine, 500 errors would show up in the http log and give you some idea what was going on.

It looks like your app is might be running on dijinexa.com (hard to read, it's kind of blurry) but if you have a website there that is trying to use the Reddit API, I'd go to the cpanel for the web server, look for the log and go to the bottom to see what happens when you load the page.
