C++ Should Any Socket Options Be Set Via setsockopt()? (Simple socket POST request)

Question

Currently in my C++ application I authenticate a client by creating a simple POST request then sending it to my webserver (all data is encrypted during transfer) through the C++ socket then receiving and processing the response. The flow of how I make connection and send/receive response to/from my server is like so:

(error handling and other code has been removed, this is all important code relevant to question)

createSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
connect(createSocket, (struct sockaddr *)&sock_t, sizeof(sock_t));
send(createSocket, POSTRequestSend, strlen(POSTRequestSend), 0);
recv(createSocket, responseBuffer, 6000, 0);

So this works just fine, but my question is should I apply any socket options via setsockopt() to my socket? Being that I am only receiving and sending small pieces of data I was wondering if there are any socket options that could help improve performance or if there are any socket options I in general should be using?

I.e. I've seen some examples of people creating/sending similar requests to mine apply these socket options:

int on = 1;
setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (const char *)&on, sizeof(int));

So if I were to add this to my socket code it would look like:

int on = 1;
createSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
setsockopt(createSocket, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (const char *)&on, sizeof(int));
connect(createSocket, (struct sockaddr *)&sock_t, sizeof(sock_t));
send(createSocket, POSTRequestSend, strlen(POSTRequestSend), 0);
recv(createSocket, responseBuffer, 6000, 0);

Would there be any benifit to setting these socket options? Or are there any other socket options that I should be using based on me only sending POST request with small amounts of data sent/received.
