MATLAB: Does the URLREAD function from MATLAB support secure (https) protocol

Question

I would like to read a secure web page over the https protocol. When I try, I receive this error:

 ??? Error using ==> urlread
 Either this URL could not be parsed or the protocol is not supported.

Answer 1

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, there are no workarounds.
