The host and protocol bit are are about allowing the browser to talk
to the right url - once the request has made it to your server, only
the path matters (unless you've got some account as subdomain stuff
going on)
A lot of the time in your app you only need the _path helpers, because
you're just linking between pages in your app (although it wouldn't
hurt to use the _url helpers). Sometimes you need a full url (eg for
putting links in an email) and so those helpers are there too.
