I've just performed code indentation as some part of the markup was not visible. — SilentAssassin, Jan 28 '13 at 12:16

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v2/developers_guide_protocol

To publish this entry, send it to the contact-list post URL as follows. First, place your Atom element in the body of a new POST request, using the application/atom+xml content type. Then send it to the post URL. For example, to add a contact to the contact list belonging to liz@gmail.com, post the new entry to the following URL: https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/liz%40gmail.com/full
