'Create a web server' code snippet changed on nodejs.org

I've noticed that the code snippet used in the video for creating a web server changed on nodejs.org and they now introduced arrow functions. See the code that worked for me below. There is a good video on Youtube if you want to know more about Arrow Functions, which were introduced in ECMA 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sQDTgOqh-I

//1. Create a web server
const http = require('http');
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((request, response) => {
  if(request.url === "/") {
    response.statusCode = 200;
    response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    response.write("Header\n");
    response.write("Search\n");
    response.end("Footer\n");
  }
});

server.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${port}/`);
});
