Connection timed out

Hi Joe, got this little issue going on here. (traceback below).
I'm testing this behind a proxy (at work), so I don't know if that'd be the issue or not, as it requires authentication. However, my python scripts make their way through. Happens both with python 2.7 and 3.4. Does your script not work behind a proxy? Either way, there should be some error handeling. Want me to take care of it?

Yeah, I have no idea what could be causing this, to be honest. Could you have a look into why it's happening in your environment (if it is still happening), and whether it'd require changes to python-whois to make it work?
