someobject/absolute_url returns "http://localhost:8080/somefolder/someobject"
someobject/absolute_url_path returns "/somefolder/someobject"
As far as a browser is concern there's absolutely no difference. The
advantage of absolute_url_path is less output in the HTML source and
that links still work as before if you change the domain and serve
cached or static content.
