Hi Aditya,

you should look into the log-file and will see it is a problem with the
tilde
in the url.

The following example works fine, tested on the garden with live ConTeXt.

\setvariables[garden][website=http://www.contextgarden.net]

\starttext
  \goto{\getvariable{garden}{website}}[URL(\getvariable{garden}{website})]
\stoptext
