Server Authentication

MATLAB^® provides programmatic interfaces to these Web service interfaces.

• RESTful (Representational state transfer)—Use the webread, webwrite, and websave functions in Web Access to read content from RESTful Web services.

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)—Use the HTTP Interface API to implement advanced HTTP messaging semantics.

To use a proxy server, see Proxy Server Authentication.
