Something seems to either have changed with webread/urlread behavior with R2016a or the Cody site has changed its authentication after it's September 2016 upgrade. Now, when ever I make a call using either webread (with weboptions) urlread using "My Cody" url, I get the html that corresponds to an unauthenticated user.
I've tried passing credentials using weboption and also cached the credentials using the built in Matlab browser - neither helped in seeing the authenticated version of this page.
Any help in understanding where the problem/solution lies would be helpful. Easily reproduced by running...
URL = 'https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/players/1261697-gregory/solved';
[Contents Status] = urlread(URL);
Compare this to the source pulled down when authenticated with Chrome (for example, search for the work "two"). FYI: this has worked for a couple of years up until now...

I'm having the same problem when trying to fetch data behind Google authentication (e.g. google drive).
Fixed - yes, but I wish it was that simple.
I suspect that in entering the Question you accidentally missed the quotation marks in your URL assignment.
