    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The webread function docstring says it can be called with just one URL
argument. However,


>> webread ('http://www.example.org/')
error: varargin(0): subscripts must be either integers 1 to (2^63)-1 or
logicals
error: called from
    webread at line 51 column 3


This looks like it should be easy to fix with some nargin checks.
