The reason for that might also be that a POST request is expected, or that a
parameter is missing.

I would use the netcat[tm] to listen at a free local port (like 1337) and
direct DOMDocument::load() to localhost at that port:
$ nc -lp 1337 &
[1] 23953
$ php -r '$x = new DOMDocument(); $x->load("http://localhost:1337/");'
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: localhost:1337
[1]+ Stopped nc -lp 1337
^C
<http://php.net/manual/en/domdocument.load.php#91384> shows how to set the
User-Agent header field for the DOMDocument HTTP request (as your script's
header() has nothing to do with that).
