The $.getJSON() method is shorthand that does not let you specify advanced options like that. To do that, you need to use the full $.ajax() method.

Notice in the documentation at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/:

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  dataType: 'json',
  data: data,
  success: callback
});

So just use $.ajax() and provide all the extra parameters you need.
