Thanks for the hints. I gave this a try tonight as well - carddavmate
and caldavzap look promising! Their resource usage is a bit on the
heavy side though.. I can barely scroll through my address book.

It actually does a current-user-principal request here, and respects
the response.

requests on things that are a collection. I had to create a collection
for my root directory.
