Because computers don't make assumptions?  😀

Why are you telling it to respond differently depending on the format
and then *not providing a format*??

You really should have added one more line from the log here.

It was very likely looking for a :format => '%20Peters" because of the '.' in the URL path.

Look at the output from `rails routes` to see the various ways that you might be routing to foos#index

Another way to fix this tends to "break" having multiple formats. You can add:

> eg:

>   match  'whatever/in/:seoterm'       , as: 'seo_whatever _in'  , :to => 'foos#index', via: [:get]  , :mode=>{:x=>' whatever ',:y=>1}

, constraints: { seoterm: /.+/ }

so that :seoterm slurps all the remaining characters of the URL. This breaks the "implicit" (.:format) that gets added because the constraint will match the '.' and everything after it leaving nothing to match the "optional" format.
