Can Matlab capture a Server responses sent to HTML5 client?

Is it possible to use Matlab to intercept a server responses sent to HTML5?

In python, it's done via:

    import urllib.request

    requestbody = ('{"Instrument":0}')

    req = urllib.request.Request(

        url='https:blahblahblah',

        data=requestbody.encode('utf-8'),

        headers={
            'content-type': 'application/json',
            'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_5) AppleWebKit/537.35 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.105 Safari/537.35',
            'cookie': cookie
        }     )

    response = urllib.request.urlopen(req).read().decode('utf-8')

I'd rather not have to install Python and use Matlab (java). Is Matlab capable of retrieving the server responses? If so, can you please tell me how or point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance for reading and any possible help!
