Neither. It would be http://example.org/pick1.xml

The rules are in RFC 3986 and are complex, but in effect you start by removing everything from the base URI after the last slash, which means that omitting the "/" after the hotpicks folder name causes this part of the base path to be ignored.

Thank you,
