ajax - Enable CORS in Golang

Question

Hi I'm implementing rest apis and for that I want to allow cross origin requests to be served.

What I am currently doing:

Go-server code on AWS:

func (c *UserController) Login(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, ctx *rack.Context) {
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", r.Header.Get("Origin"))
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE")
...
...
c.render.Json(w,rsp, http.StatusOK)
return
}

Ajax code on localhost:

<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
    console.log( "ready!" );
    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://ip:8080/login',
        crossDomain: true, //set as a cross domain requests
        withCredentials:false,
        type: 'post',
        success: function (data) {
            alert("Data " + data);
        },
    });
});

I am getting the following error on browser console: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://ip:8080/login. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8081' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 422.

I tried adding preflight options:

func corsRoute(app *app.App) {
allowedHeaders := "Accept, Content-Type, Content-Length, Accept-Encoding, Authorization,X-CSRF-Token"

f := func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    if origin := r.Header.Get("Origin"); origin != "" {
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE")
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", allowedHeaders)
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "Authorization")
    }
    return
}
app.Router.Options("/*p", f, publicRouteConstraint)
}

But it is not working.

What can be done to fix it.
