HTTP 500 error while sending SMS containing backslash through RESTFUL webservice on OCSG5.0

HI,

I am trying to send a message via JSONObject over RESTFUL webservice 

1.  JSONObject s= new JSONObject();

2.       s.put( "addresses" , sno) ;

3.  s.put( "message" ,message) ;

4.  s.put( "senderName" ,shortcode) ;

5.  OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());

6.  wr.write( s.toJSONString());

7.  wr.flush();

8.  // Get the response

9.       BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

 

Messae is like:                                   String message= “amount1\\KB  \n  amount2\\KB”

Expected received message:      amount1\KB

amount2\KB

Now problem is http server returns me reponse code 500. And cause exception at line 9.

Note: Problem area is String portion \\KB  if String would not be containing this back slash everything goes fine.
