How to make webread work?

>> webread('https://www.mathworks.com')

Error using webread (line 119)
The connection to URL 'https://www.mathworks.com' timed out after 5 seconds.
Set options.Timeout to a higher value.

Works from my system. Perhaps you have a firewall active?

or a proxy server that behaves badly given the matlab user agent string.

or increasing the Timeout

options = weboptions('Timeout', 30);
data = webread(url,options);
