How to upload html page through webwrite function?

Same as your previous question, this all depends on the web server you want to upload to. If it's the thingspeak server, I don't think it supports that. But as I said before, I've never used it, this is just based on a quick reading of the thingspeak doc.

It's a strange scenario that you want to upload html to a web server from a client. Usually, it's the server that sends html to a client.

HTML is basically text. So we can send from client to server also. How to handle this case?

[Guillaume]

Again, it all depends on the server. There's no universal method to send text to a server. By definition a server sends information to the client, not the other way round.

Now, using a REST API a server can receive information from a client. The server will define how that information is to be sent, and how it is to be encoded.

If you have a url that expects some html file, then possibly:

htmlcontent = fileread('yourhmtlfile.html')
webwrite(someurl, hmtlcontent, weboptions('MediaType', 'text/html'))

may work, if that's how the server expects it. It won't otherwise. The documentation of whichever service you want to use should tell you how it expects to receive data.
