You should be able to assign data to matlab.net.http.MessageBody in the following way:

 >> request = matlab.net.http.RequestMessage;
 >> request.Method = matlab.net.http.RequestMethod.POST;
 >> request.Body = matlab.net.http.MessageBody('username=myusername&password=mY_S3cr3t_pA55w0rd!');
 >> request.Header = matlab.net.http.field.ContentTypeField('application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8');
 >> response = request.send('https://my_url/login')

Thank you very much Prashant, as I understand this is example of setting Data of messageBody as character array or string, can we set same example using structure array? if yes how? is there any documentation or link where it is mentioned that how to set Data of message body for all MATLAB data types mentioned in MATLAB help

You can find it in the doc under the "Data Property" that it allows structure arrays:

You would create structure arrays as follows:
