Well, with a clear head this turn out to be a lot easier: The code was already present in index.php ;-D

If I had read a few more lines of code I would have noticed that it did check for http
credentials and that it didn't work. A search lead me to: 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221043#c6 
which said that I needed the '--auth-no-challenge' parameter.

wget --auth-no-challenge --http-user=xxxxxx --http-password=xxxxxx -O cal.ics \
	http://localhost/owncloud/apps/calendar/export.php?calid=1

Now I will try to modify export.php to make it work for contacts as well. It should be pretty
straight forward. If I can get it to work should I talk to Jakob Sack about adding it to the
contacts UI the same way as it is for calendars?
