Golang http.Client{} blocked by cloudflare

I have a Go service behind cloudflare (backup.foo.com/push) that I have tested with CURL/chrome and I have verified that it works and is indeed accessible. However, when using Golang's http.Client{} to make a POST request to the service, it returns the following:

I have verified that it is indeed cloudflare that is returning HTTP 500, not my webserver. My server is set to log every request made to /backup, and it's not logging anything. The request isn't making it through I don't have any bot rules, ddos rules, etc... Just the default cloudflare configuration for a proxied domain.
