I'm trying to open a web link using "web -url" command, but it defaults to matlab's browser. Problem is the webpage requires authentication and the matlab browser just doesn't show the username/pass entry, just says authorization required. Is there a way to have it open the default browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox) instead?
