Headers are part of the HTTP protocol. Every piece of software that uses
HTTP *must* understand headers. So (as you mention) you must get rid of
HTTP and write your own server with your own protocol.

I haven't tested myself but this article describes how to create a PHP
script that listens in a TCP port:

You will find the full reference (as well as some self-explaining code
snippets) in the "Socket Functions" chapter of the PHP manual.
