How do I set a proxy server to use with the URLREAD and URLWRITE functions in MATLAB as of R2010b?

In R2010a as explained in the technical solution:

How do I set a proxy server to use with the URLREAD and URLWRITE functions in MATLAB?

it was possible to use the following command:

jobj = com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs;

As of R2010b, the same command returns the following error message:

??? No constructor 'com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs' with matching signature found.

Which command do I have to use as of 10b?

I have just found a workaround.

The following lines are from the above technical solution 1-19J5C: How do I set a proxy server to use with the URLREAD and URLWRITE functions in MATLAB? :

if isdeployed
jobj = com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs;
setUseProxy(jobj,1)
setProxyHost(jobj,'HostName')
setProxyPort(jobj,'Port')
end

In fact we could write these lines as follows:

if isdeployed
   com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setUseProxy(true)
   com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyHost('HostName')  
   com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyPort('Port') 
end

And these lines work within R2010a and R2010b .

If one also want to set the Proxy Authentification, the following lines of code could be helpfull.

if isdeployed
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setUseProxyAuthentication(true)         com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyUsername('proxyuser')      com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyPassword('proxypassword')  
end
