From the docs for ParseForm:

[...] when the Content-Type is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the request Body is not read, and r.PostForm is initialized to a non-nil, empty value.

PostForm sets the Content-Type automatically, but now you have to do it yourself:

req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", userserviceUrl, strings.NewReader(form.Encode()))
// TODO: handle error
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
