To get the href you can use link.attribute_value(:href)
To match against https://mysite.com you could use a regular expression:
b.links[0].attribute_value(:href) =~ %r{https://mysite.com.*}
which will return a number specifying the match position within the string
(if there's a match) or nil (if there's no match.)
