following GET parameters are supported to customize the returned properties:
- props[]=<DAV-prop-name> eg. props[]=getetag to return only the ETAG (multiple DAV properties can be specified)
Default for calendar collections is to only return calendar-data (JsEvent), other collections return all props.
- sync-token=<token> to only request change since last sync-token, like rfc6578 sync-collection REPORT
- nresults=N limit number of responses (only for sync-collection / given sync-token parameter!)
this will return a "more-results"=true attribute and a new "sync-token" attribute to query for the next chunk
Examples: see addressbook
* **GET** requests with an ```Accept: application/json``` header can be used to retrieve single resources / JsContact or JsCalendar schema
