Web Preferences
Web preferences enable you to specify internet connection information to MATLAB®.
Limitations
MATLAB supports nonauthenticated, basic, digest, and NTLM proxy authentication types.
You cannot specify proxy server settings using a script.
There is no automated way to provide MATLAB with the proxy server settings that your system browser uses.
You can set Web preferences on the Home tab, in the
Environment section. Click 
Preferences. Select MATLAB > Web, and then adjust preference options as described in this table.
