Hi,
I am using webread for the first time in R2017b. Very unusual behavior :
>> webread('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral')
Error using webread (line 119)
First input must be a string array or cell array of character vectors.
But urlread works fine
>> urlread('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral')
ans =
'<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
Any clue ? Tried restarting Matlab, no help.

Odd. I can't reproduce this on R2017b (W10). Digging into the webread function I found out that line 119 is the following code
[url, options] = encodeInputs(url, queryParams, options);
This should not error, as you input is just a char array. Does this same error occur when you try to input it as a string or a cellstr?
Yes. I tried
webread({'https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral'})
Error using webread (line 119)
Expected URL to be one of these types:
char, string, matlab.net.URI
Instead its type was cell.
without success.I agree this is very odd.
Could it come from the default weboptions ?
options =
weboptions with properties:
CharacterEncoding: 'auto'
UserAgent: 'MATLAB 9.3.0.713579 (R2017b)'
Timeout: 5

Can you provide the output of the following command?
which -all webread

Can you attach the webread.m file mentioned on the above path?

Here it is
By the way, trying everytime I start R2017b, but still get the same error.
>> webread(sprintf('%s','https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral'))

Line 119 of the 'webread' function as mentioned in the error calls the 'encodeInputs' function which in-turn calls another internal function. Can you add break-points in the code and identify the line causing the issue?
