this does work fine as long the homepage var has no // in it
$.getJSON(url + "/addPerson/'" + name + "'/'" + homepage +"'", function(data){console.log(data);} );
how would I correctly prepare an url var to pass it as JSON call ?

If homepage is an URL with http:// in it you need encode it.
You should write :
$.getJSON(url + "/addPerson/" + name + "/" + encodeURIComponent(homepage), function(data){console.log(data);} );
If that is the case, you should not pass urls in urls. Use the POST payload or multiform data.
Also, if the aim of the request is to add a record in your database, use POST instead of GET.
$.post(url+'/addPerson', {name: name, homepage: homepage}, function(data){console.log(data);});

You need to use
encodeURIComponent, encodeURI don't encode slashes encodeURI('http://example.com') return http://example.com

excellent thanks. that did work. thanks to you all !
user3732793
actually only getJSON did work for me

@user3732793 well you need to make the appropriate changes to your API for the POST request to work properly which I strongly recommend. GET requests are for GETTING data. POST requests are for POSTING data.
user3732793
yeah makes sense, I have changed tha api to accept post requests. However your second code example didn't work with it so used the uri compose from the getJSON example...
Use encodeURI to encode the uri and get the correct value to the api, when trying to access a api over http

can you kindly post an example ?

$.getJSON(encodeURI(url + "/addPerson/'" + name + "'/'" + homepage +"'"), function(data){console.log(data);} ); jcubic
@user3732793 Only name and homepage should be encoded use
$.getJSON(url + "/addPerson/" + encodeURIComponent(name) + "/" + encodeURIComponent(homepage)), ...user3732793
thanks but that does not reach the api behind Person anymore. Which is currently reduced to "../addPersonen/{param1}/{param2}" as url
