Still I don't understand why enabling spdy makes this difference, and
how this influences stuff like this, but...

...you put me on the right track, Valentin!
- These locations are denied because these contain for example content,
like cached pages, one could access without authorization. The wiki is
closed, reading and editing is only possible after successfull
authentification, so that's why.
- Dokuwiki supports a header "X-Accel-Redirect", which, when using,
should increase file transfers etc., because then handled directly by
the webserver. Up until today I've used this setting. After disabling,
everything works like a charm, with all browsers (and different
versions) I've tested (Chromium, Iceweasel, MSIE, Opera, Safari).
- Still I don't understand why using this feature (in combination with
spdy) works in Iceweasel 24, and giving these failures in Iceweasel 31.
Anyway, some more people seem to have problems with this (see [1] for
example), at [2] and [3] you'll find a bug report and a follow up,
created in November 2011, fixed and closed in March 2014. I'm quite sure
these changes haven't reached Debian Wheezy, leading to this problem.
Thank you Valentin for your help - I'm fine.
Cheers,
Georg
