Do I need a content-type header for HTTP GET requests?

by

As far as I understood there are two places where to set the content type:

  1. The client sets a content type for the body he is sending to the server (e.g. for post)
  2. The server sets a content type for the response.

Does this mean I don’t have to or should not set a content type for all my get requests (client side). And if I can or should what content type would that be?

Also I read in a few posts that the content type of the client specifies what type of content the client would like to receive. So maybe my point 1 is not right?
