I think maybe the book is just suggesting the "http://"; + request.env.http_host part of the URL might not be the correct host name if you're behind a proxy, so you should ensure you have the correct full URL. The remainder of the URL should be correct as is. Note, the example shown in the book is actually the default value for auth.settings.verify_email, so you don't really have to set it unless you need to change it.
