selective string-replace

I have a need to write a script that will convert strings like this:

http://progressive.stream.aol.com/newline/gl/newline/lordoftherings/TheTwoTowe

rs_480.mov
http://progressive.stream.aol.com/wbonline/reloaded_teaser_1_480.mov

into strings like this:

http://progressive.stream.aol.com|newline|gl|newline|lordoftherings|TheTwoTowe

rs_480.mov
http://progressive.stream.aol.com|wbonline|reloaded_teaser_1_480.mov

I somehow need to do a "search and replace" of the slashes with pipes, yet
leave the http:// slashes intact. Is there a way I can do a stringreplace,
yet somehow detect that if there's 2 slashes together, that they should be
left untouched?
