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 ;-) :
You missed the second part. Your Webserver does not know about them in
context of accessing.
# ls -1F /local/www/dokuwiki/data/pages/
archives/
archives.txt
I do access that page via /local/www/dokuwiki/doku.php - an access
rule on /local/www/dokuwiki/data/pages/archives/ does nothing for
that.
