Self-signed certificate maybe? I have no idea.

It is possible but unlikely, that a change I made for checking privileges 
causes this. Some clients didn't parse privileges correctly. I have modified 
it for oC 5.0.1 in 
https://github.com/owncloud/apps/commit/682c3d92b97ccee5eac1398401a31e38511591a5 
so it should only rarely be an issue with shared, read-only address books.

On the good side my change has already prompted two clients to implement 
better privilege handling ;)

I'm not that good at reading DAV responses, so I have CC'd Evert, but my guess 
is that the excerpt below isn't enough to determine the issue.

Please use pastebin.com or something similar for such things as mentioned in 
previous mail.
