Timeout Setting Ignored in Whois Client

[whydee86]

Issue Description

The Whois client doesn't seem to respect the timeout settings when making queries. Despite setting the timeout via SetTimeout(), the client operation doesn't timeout as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Import the Whois client.
2. Set the timeout using SetTimeout() method.
3. Make a Whois query.

client := whois.NewClient()
client.SetDialer(proxy.FromEnvironment())
client.SetTimeout(5 * time.Second)
output, err := client.Whois("example.com", *server)

Expected Behavior

The query should timeout after 5 seconds if the server does not respond.

Actual Behavior

The operation does not timeout even after 5 seconds.

Additional Information

• Go version: go1.20.5
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
