Client connect timeout not being used

[m6246]

Client.connect accepts a timeout parameter which is stored so Client.reconnect will use that, however within Client.connect at line 175, tcp.connect uses a hard-coded timeout value of 5000 where the timeout parameter should be used.

@m6246 have you tried changing it to the timeout value and seeing if it works? You could submit a PR for that.

As #connect is just calling Socket#connect this should most definitely work.

Strangely, the timeout is used for reconnecting, see here.

Indeed, that is strange.
