Follow-up Comment #1:

The example code given in comment #0 fails with the following error for me:

>> webread('https://www.theworldsworstwebsiteever.com', 'Timeout', 1) ;

error: webwrite: KEYS and VALUES must be strings
error: called from
    webread at line 96 column 7


I can reproduce the issue with the following command though:

options = weboptions ();
options.Timeout = 1;
webread('https://www.theworldsworstwebsiteever.com', options);


The attached patch fixes that for me.
