WHOISER does not respect the timeout supplied and takes forever when an invalid TLD is supplied

[bonface221]

Version(s) affected: "^1.17.3",

Description
I'm querying domain data using Whoiser but when given a timeout of 5000 it does not respect that and it ends up quering for over 30s
Also if given an invalid URL e.g "hereandthere" it takes forever to return a response for invalid TLD. This is after supplying a 5s timeout

How to reproduce

`
interface DomainData {
status: "success" | "error";
data: WhoisSearchResult | null;
message: string;
}

export async function getDomainData(domain: string): Promise {
try {
const domainData = await whoiser(domain, {
timeout: 5000,
});

if (!domainData) {
  throw new Error("Domain details not found");
}

console.log("searched domain details:");
return {
  status: "success",
  message: "Domain details fetched successfully",
  data: domainData,
};

} catch (error: any) {
console.log("there is an error", error.message);
return {
status: "error",
data: null,
message:
error.message || "An error occured while fetching domain details",
};
}
}

`

And here is the client

`
const [data, setData] = useState<WhoisSearchResult | null>(null);
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);
const toast = useToast();

async function fetchData() {
setIsLoading(true);
const res = await getDomainData("hereandthere");
setIsLoading(false);
if (res.data && res.status === "success") {
setData(res.data);
}
toast({
title: "Error",
description: res.message,
status: res.status,
duration: 9000,
isClosable: true,
});
}

`

loading is indefinate when invalid tlds are supplied for over 30seconds

Possible Solution
maybe fix the timeout to be respected if the request goes over 5 seconds then timeout should work
