Does it have to be a response header? How about adding a flag as a URL arg
or var:
redirect(URL('index', vars=dict(success='True')))
If you need to check it on the client side, you can access the query string
in JS via window.location.search. Alternatively, you could have the 'index'
function itself set the header based on the query string:
def index():
if request.vars.success:
response.headers['success'] = 'True'
