Is this because of the specific software? I mean, would be possible with
Apache?
Don't know about nginx, but with Apache you can control access to specific
directories (!) with Allow/Deny directives.
My doubts are not related to a specific webserver. The problem is that
directory based protection won't work, because namespaces are not
directories the webserver knows about.
Hmm. /My/ namespaces /are/ directories ;-) :
# ls -1F /local/www/dokuwiki/data/pages/

The <namespace.txt> files might have to be handled specially (but I said
that this will become cumbersome).
So the only aproach would be
URL based protection, but that might not work depending on the used
Allow/Deny (for Apache) only work for directories, not for URLs, and...
rewrite config and a namespace might also be passed in a POST
parameter and not be reflected in the URL.
...trying to handle this with rewriting is probably even more complex
and error prone.
Georg: What is the general goal of the IP ACLs in your case?
