Just a guess...

Does conn.request want a string or a file object for body.  You are
passing it a file object.  If it wants a string (and the help doesn't
specify), you should call

  conn.request("POST", "/showme/picture/upload.php",body.read(), headers)

Also, you may need to calculate the Content-Length field
