Ok all done, dont ask me what exacly was wrong with it.
I generally went though and tidied it up; i did remove alot of unwanted file() calls which could have something to do with it. I also changed shutil.copy() to shutil.copyfile() but i dout that was the problem. Code:
import urllib, httplib, filecmp, os, shutil
params = urllib.urlencode({'R':'yes','D':'MH'})
h = httplib.HTTP('securityresponse.symantec.com:80')
h.putrequest('POST', '/avcenter/cgi-bin/updates_msa.cgi')
h.putheader('Content-length', '%d' % len(params))
h.putheader('Accept', 'text/plain')
h.putheader('Host', 'securityresponse.symantec.com')
h.endheaders()
h.send(params)
reply, msg, hdrs = h.getreply()
print reply
data = h.getfile().read()
file('NIDS.html','w').write(data)
print 'Grabbed the HTML and wrote the file.'
match = filecmp.cmp('NIDS.html', 'NIDS_Original.html')
if match == False:
shutil.copyfile('NIDS.html', 'c:\\documents and settings\\all users\\desktop\\ALERT Symantec Page Changed.html')
shutil.copyfile('NIDS.html', 'NIDS_Original.html')
print 'FALSE: Copied NIDS.html to ALERT on the desktop.'
else:
print 'TRUE: Deleted the temp file NIDS.html.'
os.remove('NIDS.html')
Anyway test it out and let me know if it works for you  .Mark.

The page I'm trying to recieve is the Symantec Security Updates page. But before that page will load you have to submit yes to a cgi form. I've grabed the actual POST data of a network capture and found that what is actually submitted to the cgi script is:
D=MH&R=yes Which I think is something like device=manhunt and return=yes. The cgi is actually looking to make sure that you have a support contract and forces you to answer yes to get to the updates page. To start off with I have a file called HIDS.html in the directory that I keep that app in which is a copy of the file returned once you submit the data to the cgi script. The python app runs and then compares the results to the old HIDS.html file. -Rick

Thanks Mark, that works. I've been going over it and comparing the differences between it and my code. Thanks. I have another script to write that performs the same type of function... hopefully I can get that one done myself. Thanks again! -Rick

No problem Rick, if not then give us a post. Anyway you should luck into sending data by get. Most CGI scripts dont care which method you use and GET is alot easier to use.
Mark.
