The recovery.conf which is generated is as follows

standby_mode = 'on'
primary_conninfo = 'user=''user1'' password=''use''1'' port=''5432'' '

I observed the problem is while reading primary_conninfo from the
recovery.conf file
the function "GUC_scanstr" removes the quotes of the string and also makes
the
continuos double quote('') as single quote(').

By using the same connection string while connecting to primary server the
function "conninfo_parse" the escape quotes are not able to parse properly
and it is leading
to problem.

please correct me if any thing wrong in my observation.
