Content-Length for gzipped response

Suppose a HTTP server compresses a response using "gzip".

Then is "Content-Length" response header required to be sent to the browser ?

I checked with IE and Mozilla and they were able to uncompress it without the presence of "Content-Length" header in the response.

Thanks
