[Django]-How to set an HTTP header for a JSON message from within a django-piston handler?

You could subclass piston.resource.Resource, and add whatever header you want in the __call__ method.
from piston.resource import Resource

class MyResource(Resource):
    def __call__(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        resp = super(MyResource, self).__call__(request, *args, **kwargs)
        resp['HEADER'] = "abc123"
        return resp

Then, in your urls.py:

def BasicResource(handler):
    return resource.MyResource(handler=handler, authentication=basic)

your_handler = BasicResource(YourHandlerClass)
another_handler = BasicResource(AnotherHandlerClass)
