Your quotes ” look weird. This could mean you have a non-breakable space in your thing because you copy/pasted from MS-Word or something.

Try this (retyped the space manually):

read -p "CRIP:" varCRIP
read -p "CRUSER:" varCRUSER
read -p "CRPASS:" varCRPASS

Then change your quotes:

curl -k -X GET 'http\://$varCRIP/cgi-bin/CGILink\?cmd=validate\&user=$varCRUSER\&passwd=$varCRPASS'
