Sam,
some time ago, I have also had to work with such backslashed http-URLs.
My solution was to extend the URI class (see below).
It was a quick hack only, but may suit your needs.
Feel free to use/modify the code in your program (feedback always
appreciated).
I agree with Odi that working with backslashes in URIs is unwise and that
support for this should not be included in the HttpClient core (but probably
in contrib someday)
